Comparisons (Using Irony)
There is a irony from stanza 1 to stanza 2.
The poet compares the life of a free bird and a caged birds. The free bird dare to claim the sky but the caged bird can seldom see through his bar of rage. The free bird dips his wings in the orange sun rays but the caged bird’s wings are clipped and feet are tied. These indicates the comparison between the white and the black. Through tradition and history, whites have been given hopes and spirit; blacks are servile and bound by tradition. This controversy is condoned and accepted. Tradition has caused the death of black dreams and hope.
