birds |
The strong imagery of birds in flight and wings represent Edna's desire to be free and independent. On the other hand, caged birds represent Edna's feeling of being trapped be her husband and current lifestyle; even in her attempt at independence by moving out of her husband's home, she finds herself trapped yet again in a small house referred to as "the pigeon house."
