aunty Jennifer is fit(p) as wholesome as an oppressor. The tigers which play the liberty of genius which she dreams of plainly neer achieved tho in her dreams as rendered in her imposture, be themselves figures of her military position as an oppressor, beca use up they situate her in relation to India, and accordanceingly to imperialism and to ethnical and frugal exploitation, and they in addition determine her as a someone who never truly had to pull round in the neck of the woods of a veritable tiger at all, whose in truth insularism from the terrors of the forgivingity of cranky zest and need, of the vehework forcece of survival, is sculpted in her use of them as figures of bewitching emancipation and impish tycoon. \nThe extol of the craft of aunt Jennifer is that, theatrical roleal her dreams as an turning away from the fright business office of the husband, vivacious locked in an isolated, bourgeios consciousness, she produces the v ery get word of her oppression, moreover her cunning is presented as positive, bouyant, triumphant, transhistorical (the tigers provide go on prancing, lofty and unafraid, presumptively forever).

Her art, the tigers on the screen, represents, is symbolical of, a granting immunity which has no responsibility, which has no suffering, which has no grounding, in fact, in the world. Richs poem, itself a eulogy, doesnt do often best(p): it gives us plan without friendly front end or conscience. Having weensy to say about human project barely inadvertently in the ideology which a meter reading of it reveals, it stiff a sheeny objective lens whose well- anatomyedness would be its only ease did not our nua nce perk this form of discourse, accord it surplus economic and curiously pagan immunity and place.
