Final answer:
The horse spiders' views on their cages are not explicitly stated, but other characters in related texts experience their cages as both limiting and inconsequential.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the story "Zoo," the horse spiders do not provide an explicit viewpoint on the cages that separate them from visitors. However, other animals and entities in the excerpts cited, like the hunger artist and the wild panther, perceive their cages and the visitors in various lights. The hunger artist feels discarded and overshadowed by the animal stalls, and it's only from a distance that he appreciates his viewers, as the proximity diminishes his art to them. Contrarily, when the panther is put in the cage, it becomes a source of vibrant life and attraction, showing no signs of missing its freedom, thus suggesting a more complex and varied interpretation of captivity and display.
