William Blake's 'The Lamb' vs. 'The Tyger'
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page paper that posits that William Blake's 'The Lamb' and 'The Tyger' are songs that speak of choice. The choice is both for quality of life and choice for after-life, because if the choice is not made in the instant, it is too late. Making specific comparisons in the visual aesthetics created by the two poems, the writer makes the argument that the choice, according to Blake, is the choice between freedom in 'the Lamb' and enslavement by 'the Devil.'

William Blake's 'The Lamb' vs. 'The Tyger' / Symmetry
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page paper that posits that Blake knew what he was writing about in 'The Lamb' and 'The Tyger.' Although the Lamb is perceived as strictly the 'good path,' it is not the poem which speaks of symmetry. That information is provided in 'The Tyger.' This paper argues that while the message in 'The Lamb' may lead to God, so does the message in 'The Tyger.' Being creations of God, both the tiger and the lamb are necessary to individual progress. The true answer lies in balance, or symmetry.
