discussion of law‚ William Blake states that “Prisons are built with stones of Law‚ Brothels with bricks of Religion” (Blake‚ 6) within The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. Blake dives to the criticism or observation of an institution. It may seem odd that he points out “prisons” and “brothels” within the same sentence‚ yet‚ although they are quite different on their face they share central features.
