Relating Carl Roger's Phenomenological Personality Theory To Maya Angelou's Character In I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings.
This paper is about Carl Roger's Phenomenological Personality Theory. Carl Rogers emphasized the whole of experience, the phenomenal, which is the individual's subjective frame of reference; it may or may not correspond to external reality. With regard to Maya's character Marguerite, out of the phenomenal field, a self or self-concept gradually develops. It seems clear that for Maya is an important element in the experience of her life and in some odd sense her goal is to become her "real self".
