    William Blake: The Tyger analysis To understand "The Tiger" fully‚ you need to know Blake’s symbols. The title seems to be quite simple. It lets us know that the poem is about a tiger. So‚ we expect it to be just that‚ about a tiger. However‚ as we start reading‚ it becomes clear pretty quickly that this is not just any tiger.

    [1] Christopher Marlowe’ s Doctor faustus Doctor Faustus is probably Christopher Marlowe’s most famous work.
