Answer:
the "caged bird" is itself a metaphor for the African- American individual who is enslaved.The poem portrays how the whites dominate the black Americans. The poet shows herself as a trapped bird which is caged and barred from having her freedom.Basically the poem portrait the racial segregation that existed between a true white and an African-American individual in the past. Angelou turns her attention to the lives of black people in American from the time of slavery to the rebellions 1960s. In the course of the caged bird, Maya herself transforms from a victim of racism with an inferiority complex into a self-possessed, dignified woman capable of responding to prejudice. The issue of racial discrimination has been abolished. The black people have regained their freedom and they have continued to overcome the dominance of the Whites both in US and elsewhere in the world. The fighting and Struggling of the Black Americans to be liberated from the shackles of racism and misogyny and a self possessed, dignified woman capable of responding to prejudice is the main thing that I liked in the poem.
