The Tyger Figurative Language
In the poem “The Tyger,” William Blake uses figurative language to demonstrate how the narrator feels about the Tyger. The talented poet paints a picture of a man admiring a woman. At first he is greatly interested. As the poem continues there is a shift. Blake reveals that the beautiful tiger is not what she seems. At this point I picture the woman being spotted with another man. The narrator is now angry yet at the same time bemused.
The narrator attempts to comprehend how something so beautiful can be hurtful. The “dread grasp” must be the one the woman has on his heart. He continues to try to solve the puzzle of how someone like her could be created by the hands of the good God, ”the Lamb”. The poem finishes with the vexed narrator
asking, “What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?”
