Answer 2

This poem is about a tiger that is really amazing,

powerful, dangerous, and equally beautifully symmetrical.

The poem compares the tiger to a lamb, which is portrayed

as really innocent and represents Jesus. The tiger is so

dangerous that it could not have been created by the same

creator as the lamb, but the creator is God, who, in that time,

was known to all as amazing, and created both because He is

so amazing. The blacksmith represents God and William Blake

because God created the tiger and William Blake because he

wrote the poem. Blake identified God's creative process

(ie. the tiger) as the work of an artist. And it is art that brings

creation to its fulfillment -- by showing the world as it is, by

sharpening perception, by giving form to ideas.

Answer 3

William Blake wrote the Tyger in 1793 and included it in the set of poems called Songs of Experience published in 1794. There are also poems called Songs of Innocence and some songs from the two sets make up contrasting pairs. Against the tiger of experience, Blake put the lamb of innocence. The poem is presented as the inner or outer speech of some person who is overwhelmed by the frightening but beautiful things of the world like tigers and fire. It is in this way that Blake's poetry has the power to astound us with his insight.
