This is a complex poem and I loved puzzling out its meaning: This is how I interpret it. The red swan's beauty is an end in itself. Its stunning beauty should make its life perfect as everyone will admire it and not seek to possess it. So the red swan must be resolutely peaceful and not retaliate against being wronged. But this red swan breaks that taboo, retaliates against injustice and causes much more suffering. At the end the red swan seeks forgiveness for her impulsive act and also restoration of a damaged world.This is a profound poem with no easy answers
You almost got what i meant doing this poetry I grew up in east and i have been told to go silent against all anti women actions of the society and if you stand against fools they would call you offender not those who offended you
