Analysis of Sympathy.
By: Paul Laurence Dunbar
Dunbar explored the themes os slavery and life in the south. He worked as a writer and published many poems and short stories. He also was the son of slaves who wanna to escaped using the underground railroad.
What I liked about the poem is that it was easy to read. The poem was saying that he seems to be comparing a caged bird to a human slave. The mood of the poem feel sad in some part and angry in others. Dunbar repeat the phrase " I know why the caged bird" because he wants the reader to know that he feel the same way as the bird.
The phrase " I know what the caged bird feels, alas" make me think that he has been a caged bird to. The speaker blood is red on the cruel bars because his images are getting more violent and he is angrier. The caged bird means very desperate to fling a prayer upward. When I read this poem I feel sadness and then sympathy for the speaker. When you figured out that the bird was a metaphor for slaves, it was sad to think about how they want to get out but they couldn't. The speaker feel horrible about slavery/bird are locked up and cant get free even through they keep trying to get away.
I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals —
I know what the caged bird feels!
I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting —
I know why he beats his wing!
I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,—
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings —
I know why the caged bird sings!
