Explanation:

The first question: The text explicitly compares Minnie Foster Wright to a "bird herself" describing her as timid, sweet, and changed, which aligns her with the bird symbol.
The second question: If Minnie is the bird (a trapped, stifled figure), the birdcage symbolizes her oppressive domestic situation, as her marriage and home confined her like a cage confines a bird.

Answer:

1. Wright, Minnie, Foster
2. If Mrs. Wright is the bird, then the birdcage represents her situation at home.
