Answer:

The poem itself is a metaphor from start to finish. The caged bird is representative of those who lack freedom.... everyone experiencing restrictions and oppression. The cage represents exactly what we'd believe, a form of imprisonment. The bird's song symbolizes the cries of freedom, and the combination of the two represents the need for every living thing to reach its full potential, something that cannot be done amid barriers and fear.

Answer:

 This poem is an extended metaphor. Although the speaker doesn't mention any races, it is clear that she is showing how the freedoms allotted whites are diametrically opposed to those given to the blacks. In the first stanza, the speaker illustrates how the free bird, or white race, is untroubled. It also shows how the white race has the audacity to own and govern society unjustly. The speaker concludes'' (the free bird) dares to claim the sky". This shows how whites demonstrated discrimination and prejudice toward blacks. Unfortunately, this deplorable conduct was condoned in society.
