I know why the caged Bird sings

 I know why the caged Bird sings 


Q.1 what's the significance of the title , I know why the caged Bird sings ? Is at an appropriate tital?

Ans. From the title 'I know why caged birds sing', Maya Angelou explains the essence of the poem's theme: freedom versus imprisonment. The caged bird, despite its clipped wings and bound legs, represents an indomitable spirit of hope and perseverance.

      The aptness of the title is obvious, as it restricts the main message of the poem. The caged bird expresses a longing for freedom that resonates deeply with historical and personal chains of oppression. The contrast between a free bird and a caged bird highlights the disparity between those who are free and those who are not.

 "Angelou’s caged bird sings not just for itself, but for every soul that yearns for liberation."
