why are the lamb and the tiger compared
Answers
"The Lamb" is the counterpart poem to Blake's poem: "The Tyger" in Songs of Experience. ... Like many of Blake's works, the poem is about Christianity. The lamb is a common metaphor for Jesus Christ, who is also called "The Lamb of God" in John 1:29.
The poems “The Tyger” and “The Lamb” from William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and of Experience have very much in common, but at the same time there are certain differences between them. Both poems are written to highlight the role of experience in human life. In the poem “The Tyger”, the author describes adult experience, and in the poem “The Lamb” he described child experience. William Blake contrasts child’s experience and adult’s experience in order to show the change in human nature with age.
There are many similarities in the connotative meanings of these poems. In both poems, the author places emphasis on the emotional meanings of the words “tiger” and “lamb”. Thus, “tiger” stands for some strong, violent and active creature, while “lamb” stand for some weak and passive creature. This fact means that the words have different connotative meanings. The image of the tiger described by the author reflects the idea of the presence of the evil in this world. The series of questions asked by the authors show that “fearful symmetry” of the tiger makes this creature powerful.
