“The Tyger” Free Poster
In an echo to William Blake’s “The Lamb,” “The Tyger” poses a similar slew of questions on the topic of creation. Compared to the childlike speaker in “The Lamb,” “The Tyger” brings a creature more fearsome and vicious to the center. With powerful imagery dedicated to a burning fire, the tone of this poem is embedded with danger and fear. Blake questions how the Creator could form a creature so terrifying and how the same hand that made the tiger could make its prey.
