Tupperware-the idea of tupperware not only reflects the role of a woman as a houswive cooking for her family, but it also deals with the idea of being confined in a space. She feels very sheltered and resents her husband for keeping her from experiencing the real world and does not want to be stuck in a contained society anymore. The tupperware, again, serves to symbolize her containment and her cookie-cutter image that she is automatically given because of her gender.

I completely agree with you, Lauren. Tupperware demoralizes a woman and puts her right back into the conformed societal world where a woman, because of her gender, has to stay working in the kitchen. So I agree that all the author had to do was mention tupperware to create a misogynistic tone for the poem.
