Question

Read the poem and answer the following questions​

Answer 1

Answer:

QUESTION 1 ]

ANS- Major Themes in “Sympathy”: Struggle, prejudice, and social discrimination are the major themes of this poem. Throughout the poem, the caged bird tries his best to win freedom but fails. Although he is captivated, when he sees his fellow birds playing with the wind, he longs to see the same freedom in his life.

Question 2 ]

Ans - The caged bird in "Sympathy" symbolizes those who are oppressed by their society. Dunbar would have understood this issue well, as an African American writing at the end of the nineteenth century.

Question 3 ]

Ans- It really, really wants to leave that cage, so much so that it keeps hurting itself (eesh). Each time the bird beats its wings against the bars, its old scars "pulse," or throb again. This suggests the idea of recurring pain. The bird suffers over and over again; its pain isn't limited.

Question 4 ]

Ans- The tone of Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem "Sympathy" is one of desperation and agony; yet, there is also a reverent understanding for this unconquered, though desperate, human spirit.

Question 5 ]

Ans - This poem has a simple title: "Sympathy." On one level, this title indicates the "sympathy" that the speaker feels for the caged bird. He identifies with this bird and he feels its suffering. In this sense, the poem's title can be understood to reflect the speaker's own identification with the bird.

Question 6 ]

Ans - Paul Laurence Dunbar is the speaker of the poem sympathy.

Question 7 ]

Ans - The phrase 'cruel bars' is a metaphor to show the intensity of the cruelty shown to the bird. In reality, the cage and the bars does not have feelings or emotions and do not express cruelty. However, the cage is used as a metaphor to show the oppression and pain.

Question 8 ]

Ans - The first stanza of the poem creates a visual imagery in the mind of the reader. It shows what the bird is missing out on as it is caged. It paints a picture of a wonderful world outside which the caged bird can't experience. This is also the plight of the African-Americans.
