In the poem what it’s like to be a black girl‚ the choice made by the girl is desirable. She is determined

Damn it!” The words foreshadow something tragic to occur in the end of the novel. The parrot is also caged and also speaks a language in which only the mockingbird can understand. The parrot symbolizes Edna Pontillier who seems to only be understood by some but not all and seems to be beside herself because her husband doesn’t seem to notice her. 2. Leonce Pontellier
