“Caged Bird” talks about the universal themes of freedom and confinement—it is easily read as an extended metaphor about the value of freedom in human life. “the caged bird sings / with a fearful trill / of things unknown / but longed for still” (31-34) because although he is too afraid of the outside world to leave his cage and see it, he also has an inner longing for freedom that cannot be smothered by fear. Angelou suggests that people who feel confined by their lives will always have this longing for freedom, even if they are afraid to experience it at the same time. The free bird, in contrast to the caged bird, “dares to claim” (7) the vast things he dreams of. The caged bird represents cowards who are too paralyzed by fear to follow their dreams, and the free bird represents the few brave enough to chase what they want.
