    William Blake: the Tyger

    • 1352 Words
    • 6 Pages

    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. It could be a symbol Blake uses to make a far deeper point than something like tigers are scary. It is one of the poem of his collection named: songs of experience. The

    William Blake not only a poet‚ but he was also a painter‚ engraver‚ printmaker‚ and most notably a visionary. Largely unrecognized during his lifetime‚ Blake is now considered a key figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age. His visual artistry has led one contemporary art critic to proclaim him "far and away the greatest artist Britain has ever produced". Although he lived in London his entire life except for three years spent in Felpham‚ he produced a diverse

    forced into the child labor to support the growing economy. These children were deprived of their childhood and William Blake the author of “ The Chimney Sweeper” wanted to depict society’s ignorance of child labor and raise awareness towards its injustice. Blake appeals to the reader’s sense of morality to draw attention to the corruption that was sweeping the nation through child labor.

    London by William Blake William Blake was an amazing poet. He wrote many poems such as‚ A Cradle Song‚ A Divine Image‚ Broken love‚ etc. Although he did write many artistic poems I chose to analyze the poem “London”. I chose this poem because even though he has written more beautiful one‚ this title caught my eye because London is where he was born and lived. I truly believe this poem has a lot of meaning to it. It shows sadness and frustration. The poem

    Only God can truly create something out of nothing‚ as he created Adam from the ground. "The seeking serpent walks‚" (Blake) references that in biblical times that snakes could actually walk‚ Blake is revealing that we originated pure but then death came upon us when we were sought out by the walking serpent‚ our physically moving sin. Our spirit had been tampered with. Blake does not come right out and say that Adam ate the apple that revealed so much evil and desires‚ but simply says that in

    chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight‚ Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand‚ Till we have built Jerusalem In England’s green and pleasant land. The poem by William Blake that is generally known as “Jerusalem” is probably the best known of his works‚ although it was not given that title by its author. Blake did write a poem called “Jerusalem”‚ but it is one of his immensely long “Prophetic Books”‚ written between 1804 and 1820‚ that is little read today. What we know as “Jerusalem”

    Among the multitude of bewildering paradoxes in William Blake’s “Proverbs of Hell” is that which claims “The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom” (class handout). It is bewildering in the case that traditional moral teachings recognize overindulgence as sinful. After all‚ it is routine to condemn the wealthy‚ who possess more than enough‚ while simultaneously pitying the poor‚ whose possessions are meager. So how is it that Blake distorts this view to illustrate excess as not only a positive

    “The Tiger” Reflection William Blake seemed like a supernatural poet who thought about the unknown of the universe and pursued to solve them. In his poem "The Tiger"‚ Blake questions the mentality of this so called “God” to create such a violent and harmful animal after having created a kind and gentle one such as the lamb. To understand the poem I had to fully understand the thoughts of the speaker‚ in which there is not a clear addressee‚ considering that the speaker didn’t mention who he or

    the time of youth was fled‚ And grey hairs were on my head. Analysis Personal- I believe that Blake is emphasizing that fact that when we are younger we are encouraged to dream and to have fun because of our innocence and lack of knowledge of the consequences. But as we become older we are guided into achieving certain goals because we now understand the situations that we face. I believe that Blake is saying that we should live in the present and not the future‚ because our innocence (our youth)
