Nhà thơ phản ánh rất thành công nỗi bất bình sâu sắc và niềm khao khát tự do mãnh liệt của chúa sơn lâm trước thực tại tù túng, ngột ngạt. Bút pháp khoa trương của tác giả đã đạt tới độ thần diệu. Trong cảnh giam cầm, hổ chỉ còn biết gửi hồn về chốn nước non hùng vĩ, giang sơn của giống hầm thiêng ngự trị tự ngàn xưa. Bất bình với hiện tại nhưng không thể thoát khỏi xích xiềng nô lệ vị chúa tể sơn lâm đầy uy vũ ngày nào giờ đành buông xuôi, tự an ủi mình bằng những giấc mộng ngàn to lớn trong quãng đời tù túng còn lại. Một nỗi buồn tê tái thấm đẫm tâm hồn. Than ôi! Quá khứ hào hùng oanh liệt giờ chỉ còn hiện lên trong giấc mộng! Tự đáy lòng vị chúa tể rừng xanh bật thốt lên tiếng than ai oán: “Hỡi cảnh rừng ghê gớm của ta ơi!”
