Question

Describe the symbolic meaning of the word tiger in the poem tiger​

Answer 1

Answer:

The tiger, in Blake's “The Tyger” is a symbol for evil. The words used to describe the tiger include “burning” (line 1) and “fire” (6), both suggesting the fires of hell. Blake also uses “fearful” (4), “dread” (12,15), and “deadly terrors” (16) to describe feelings the tiger is associated with.
