The image of the caged bird was used as a metaphorical expression to represent the classroom of which the bird was the bird that was caged. The poet used the expression to imply that the buy was like a bird that was caged and denied it’s freedom to move around to do what it likes. The image of the caged bird explain the experiences of the boy. He hacked the freedom he desires and he is restricted to a certain schedule. The poet compares formal education as a prison yard and simplifies this by comparing the school system as a sort of a birds in a cage. Birds are born to enjoy flying gleefully and freely and perching on trees as they sing delightful sings/tones. The restricted bird in a cage looses all of these. Similarly, in the school system where children are restricted and have no chance to make fun with the natural environment as they would naturally want is nothing better than a cage bird. Their youthful life destroyed by fear and has no choice other than to drop their tender wings in total lamentation.

The character and role of Mrs. Johnson appears mostly for comic relief. She is a flat caricature of the nosy, jealous neighbor. However, Hansberry employs the Mrs. Johnson character in order to point out the explosive realities that await the Youngers for being the first blacks to move into Clybourne Park. Mrs. Johnson is insensitive and unkind, asking indelicate, overly nosy questions. At one point, she practically says outright that she is hoping that the Youngers’ new house will be bombed. Although her warnings are about a very real danger to the Youngers, Mrs. Johnson’s manner is so offensive that she appears almost ludicrous. In other words Mrs Johnson also help shave the ill treatment melted out to the coloured race by the white westerners she brings in a copy of newspaper which comes the report of a bomb being detonated in the territory of the negroes and which leads to the death of a number of negroes. She is the character through whom the reader get to know that only beneatha has a little of formal education. She also goes an insight into the nature of the jobs available for the negroes. the negrose are never satisfied with their jobs.

After a lot of emotional struggle, Bigger manages to break the silence but his speech falters. He acknowledged Max’s efforts and notes that the lawyer is not to blame for Hus plight . He had forseen this concerns himself Noticing Bugger’s struggle with his speech ,Max comes to his aid by asking if there is anything he could do for him . Not knowing how to give expression to his thoughts,Bigger runs to the door and clutches the steel bar in his hands. In spite of Max’s promptings ,he cannot express his thought and he feels that Max does not know what he want. Perhaps, Max has removed him from his concerns. With a great deal of efforts ,Buggers again ,manages to tell Max that he is glad to know him before dying ,thought this is not what he wanted to say. Max replies in kind ,noting that as an old person he would soon die too . Bigger tells him that he remembers their talk the other night and how important, humbling and enlightening it has been to him Later on,bigger feels that max has understood what he wants and promptly seizes the opportunity to unburden his mind. He tells max that that it was the murder of Mary which made him see himself and other people differently. While admitting that he is not trying to dodge what is ahead since he had already foreseen it,he adds that we never meant to hurt anybody. He did so because he felt he had to,as they were,” Crowding me to close”. He feels that his action were some sort of natural reaction to those people preventing him from getting what he wanted. He thought those people were hard, and he also acted hard. then ,he confesses that he is not hard at all,not even “a little bit”.He is ,however ,determined to go to his death without crying openly to the satisfaction of his killers,though he may be crying inside of himself. Max leads Bigger to the window and tells him to look at the buildings in the loop. He informs Bigger that though they are made of steel and stone,the buildings are held in place by the belief of men, men like Bigger himself who were kept hungry and in need. The same feelings were responsible for their growth and multiplication bit they cannot grow again because of the greed of few men. In addition ,the men inside the buildings have started to doubt,like Bigger himself did. He advises Bigger to worry less about life and die freely .He observes that Bigger is trying to believe in himself but others opinions about him have made this difficult. Because others have labelled him bad ,he doubt’s himself . Max further let’s Bigger realize that those who hate him feel the same way he does Bigger exhort Max to go home and that he is fine . He notes that going by Max’s speech ,he thinks he is right in his actions. Although he never meant to kill,he thinks “what I killed for must have been good”. Max is terrified and he points out that is not what he meant . Bigger ignores his terrified look and requests him to tell his mother that he is alright and therefore not worry. The portrayal of Bigger in this last episode underscores one of the major weakness of the protagonist. He is unfortunately inarticulate. In the episode, Lawyer Max serves as the authorial voice in the implication of capitalism as the cause and nurturer of racial exploitation, racial discrimination and the general oppression of the working class. Here,the themes of race and class oppression are clearly highlighted.

Fofo decides to tell her mother about her experience in Poison’s hands. Hence, she with her friend Odarley goes to see her mother. When they got to the house, Fofo stayed whereas Odarley moves ahead, invariably to go and test the waters.
The reluctancy in replying her greetings to the first woman she met, causes the woman’s daughter to prompt her mother which causes a reprimand. This makes Ordaley to ignore other members of the household and head directly for Maa Tsuru’s door. Deep in her own thoughts, Maa Tsuru is not conscious of the advancing of Ordaley and the cold treatment Ordaley had already received. As Maa Tsuru leans on her door looking idle-mindedly into space, Ordaley informs her that she was coming with Fofo who decided to stay back on the way because she was uncertain of the encounter.
Puzzled by sadness, Maa Tsuru cries out her sorry state in her house, her ostracism by all apart from Naa Yomo. She manages to ask Ordaley why Fofo decided to stay back out of the way. She becomes tensed up by the time the girl drops the hint a sinister thing had taken place. Consequently, her askance about what could have happened is confirmed when Ordaley calls Poison. She weeps in agitation and fear but prompts Ordaley to call Fofo. After she is briefed about the condition of her family by Ordaley, Fofo ignores all except Naa Yomo. Fofo sits down and quickly suspects that something is missing in the room- her step father who has left. Fofo becomes despondent and disappointed in the fact that her mother allowed him to leave. Heart broken Maa Tsuru orders her daughter to leave. She assures Fofo she is not being sacked from her house but advised Fofo to move away or leave Accra if possible so as to fall prey to ‘they’ whom Fofo tries to find out. Fofo who is confused, wants to know why the death of Baby T should necessitate an attempted rape on her, why Poison should get angered about a mother being told of her daughter’s demise. Hence Maa Tsuru explains how poison came to the house to turn her into leper. Apparently, Poison had come to the house to openly reveal how Maa Tsuru released Baby T into prostitution and made money out of her demise. As a wicked person, Poison had threatened to replace Baby T with Fofo if Maa Tsuru or others involvement in the deal make him unhappy. Fofo is vexed, protests her mother’s persistence that she should go away, and ponders where her mother wants her to go, especially when she lacks the wherewithal. She demands something better from her mother who has none to offer but Maa Tsuru regrets what she thinks “should not have happened”. The above made Fofo inquire if her father is still her mother’s husband Frustrated and weeping, Maa Tsuru decided to warn her daughter not to speak to her anyhow. Fofo is not impressed. Maa Tsuru prays silently for an end to her experience, after her daughter had told her she never wanted to come to her and her mother had shown surprise. Later, fofo calmly asked why Poison is angry about Maami Borni coming to tell Baby T’s death to her mother and if anyone has spoken of what really happened. Lastly, Maa Tsuru’s laments do not impress Fofo and later shows lack of concern to her mother’s consoling words; if she liked the plastic bag in the room. She(Fofo) meets Ordaley outside and inform that all is not right, they left afterwards. In conclusion, this episode shows how decayed and depraved Shana society is in the book “faceless”
