The tree itself symbolises the anger and malice that motivated the action, resulting in the death of the enemy. Of course, the tragic truth of this poem is that both the enemy and the speaker have been "poisoned" by the anger, as the speaker is consumed and harmed by his anger.

Answer 2

✧________⭐________✧

William Blake's “A Poison Tree” basically uses two symbols (an apple and a tree) to relate its meaning. The tree represents the growing anger in the speaker's heart against his enemy and the apple represents the “fruit” of that anger, an action, in the poem, murder.
