Remember that violence was inflicted on the birdcage and the bird. What inferences can you make about Mrs. Wright’s experience in her home? Check all of the boxes that apply.

The damaged birdcage and the bird’s violent death suggest that Mrs. Wright may have felt trapped and restricted in her home, including by the limits of her role as a housewife. The violence against the bird may also reflect physical or emotional violence she experienced. The bird’s importance to her suggests it was a source of companionship, so its loss points to loneliness; the clues do not suggest that she could sing freely or wanted to travel.
