    for the fourth stanza if you take the whole poem as being about the evil of humanity, it could also be a metaphor for the Industrial revolution (because of the semantic field of industry) because apparently Blake hated the industrial revolution and thought it was ruining people's creativity and individuality and stuff

    Mrs R thank you so much for such a detailed and easily understandable video! My teacher at school has made learning this poem so complicated and such a chore, so thank you for making my life a hell of a lot easier! Keep up the good work - it is much appreciated!

    Wow. This so amazing. I love poetry and I write poetry. However, I did have a hard time understanding poetry before the 1800s because the use of language is different from the language we use now. Thank you so much for breaking this down! This helps me to broaden my perspective of poetry and to dig more into complex poems.

    Blake said that :"I believe when God created the tiger,he surpassed himself." Thus,I don't think Blake equals tigers to humans..I think he tries to explain his point of view about why the tiger has caused so much fear to the human kind,and why there are hundreds of millions of people that worship the tiger.For millions of western people,lion is a king.But for millions of Eastern people ,tiger is more than that.For them,tiger is a God.Blake wanders if God smiles when he sees his creation (the tiger),because even the devil and the other fallen angels were afraid of her,and threw their weapons down(spears).So,I believe Blake wrote a tribute to both at one of the most magnificent animals that ever walked the Earth (the tiger)and the Creator that manages to hold the balance between innocent(Lamb)and fatal (Tiger)beauty

    Nothing more loving towards the tiger/tyger... The way the face/expression/beingness is on Fire...! I knw what he means, the hot nature of that unique beingness... And, is Loved, or extremely respected, appreciated... and how 'God' spans this nature as it does the Lamb...

    Wow. I was 11 years old (many years ago) and was given a project to find and read a poem in my English lesson. I was 11 I had no knowledge of poems. I found this poem and thought "ohh tiger" that might be good. I did my project and that was it. I wish my school had been more encouraging. It was only years after I found out who the poet was. Loving this analysis wish I could have done it 30 odd years ago to teachers who didnt give a ..........

    This is a lovely explanation of the Tyger. I just wanted to point out that you mentioned the repetition of dread in the third stanza could reference Frankenstein, but the novel is not published until about 20 years later. Although I totally see the point of fearing your own creation, I do not think it would be right to correlate the two works.

    but something tells me that what he meant about the tyger and lamb is the bad and good side of the humanity like "did he who made the lamb make thee ?" which imo saying ""is this god that made such evil thing is the same one who created good as well ?"" cuz u know Jesus is also a human and as a human he also have the free will but he was clean and good even with the free will

    Why the tiger spelling is "t (y)g e r" is there any particular reason for that if you explain that will be very helpful for me in my interviews because I am English major wherever I go if I choose this topic as my interview topic many questions rise from the spelling ty g e r....pls explain that

    • @aishwarya4572
      @aishwarya4572 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      While “tyger” was a common old-fashioned spelling of “tiger” at the time, Blake has elsewhere spelled the word as “tiger,” so his choice of spelling the word “tyger” for the poem has usually been interpreted as being for effect, maybe to give an “exotic or alien quality of the beast”, or because it’s not really about a “tiger” at all, but a metaphor for 'mankind as shown in the video.

    • @mannyc5573
      @mannyc5573 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It looks like Blake uses the y in tiger to match rhyming eye with symmetr(y). Most all his other works rhyme so this would allow for it.
