The Lamb And The Tyger
The Lamb And The Tyger. To be more specific, both poems show us that human beings always ask questions about the world around them. The lamb represents the calm and pleasant beauty of creation, the tiger its fearful beauty.
The lamb is a gentle poem, which is believed to have been written as if it was. What’s more, both the lamb and the tyger are faces of human nature. Both ‘the lamb’ and ‘the tiger’ are created by god.
‘The Tyger’ Concentrates On The Dangers To Be Faced In Life And Nature While ‘The Lamb’ Celebrates Nature As Seen Through The Innocent Eyes Of A Child.
Tyger, tyger, burning bright in the forests of the night, what immortal hand or eye “the lamb” on one side explains the good side of human life, while “the tyger” refers to the dark side. For instance, the lamb gives a sense of happiness and joy because the lamb is playful and innocent like a child.
The Poems Are Similar In The Theme Of Creation, Imagery And Rhyme Scheme.
He is meek & he is mild, he became a little child: The tyger, as part of songs of experience, was published in 1794. In ‘the tyger’ the mood is a lot more sinister and almost frightening as the tiger is seen as a symbol of fear because of its huge power and strength.
Little Lamb, I'll Tell Thee:
The lamb is a look at childish innocence and the tyger refers to the innocent child who is growing up. I chose to do the comparison between ‘the tyger’ and ‘the lamb’ because they both have similar themes but are concerned with very different aspects of life. The lamb is a gentle poem, which is believed to have been written as if it was.
It Is A Poem Made Of Questions.
Hence, these represent the contrasting states of innocence and experience, both of which are stages that every man must pass through in his life. Despite major differences in tone, 'the tyger' and 'the lamb' are both about curiosity. This is conveyed by the use of words such as ‘softest’, ‘delight’ and ‘wooly bright’.
Little Lamb, God Bless Thee!
The lamb, on the other hand, is the opposite of the tyger, praising god’s creation. Little lamb god bless thee. The poems are also different from the structure, and the way they are written.
