Blake’s’ ‘The Tiger’ published in 1794 and ‘View of a Pig’ by Ted Hughes published in the 1960’s. Question 1 How do the poets’ attitudes to their respective animals differ?

After they have intercourse she runs away and stays far away from all the males (Hauser 82). A male guinea pig always gets excited

Next to the ovary lies the funiculum (funnel shaped)
