Question

With whom the lamb has been compared by william blake in lamb and how he describe.

Answer 1

This poem is a part of English Honours syllabus in Calcutta university and other universities.

This is a wonderful poem written by William Blake where the poet had tried to talk about innocence and experience by taking the help of lamb and tiger.

On one hand, lamb symbolizes simplicity, meekness and innocence.

On the other hand, tiger symbolizes ferocity and experience in life.

Here lamb has been compared with tiger as both are entirely different from one another.

One might also view it from a self perspective of that of a child or view the comparison in terms of christian concepts.
