Thoughts of free bird and caged bird
Answers
Answer:
The poem “I know why the caged bird sings” emphasizes the difference between the caged bird and a free bird.
Explanation:
In her poem “I know why the caged bird sings”, Maya best describes the state of a two birds where one is caged and the other is totally let free. The caged bird is caged in his ‘bars of rage’ while the other floats and dares to hit the sky. In this poem, she describes the plight of a caged bird and the ‘delight of the free bird’ experiencing freedom as well. In few stanzas, the poet depicts how the free bird lives in a colorful, bright and dreamy world where all its dreams get fulfilled.
On the other hand, the poet portrays the unfulfilled dream of the caged bird as the feet are tied, wings are clipped, walks inside the narrow cage. And hardly sees the outside world through the bars of the cage. The caged bird lets out its nightmare scream to express his fear, agony, and anger. Thus the poet compared the life of a caged bird and the free bird to emphasize the theme of enslavement and freedom.
