Throughout William Blake's career and life, he was known for many things, such as printmaking, painting, and poetry. Although his works gained him some notoriety, he was probably best known for his poetry. Two of these poems, The Lamb and the Tyger, which have strong religious support, particularly that of Christianity, are taken from a published series of poems he titled Songs of Innocence and Experience, which s fits exceptionally with the themes of the two poems. these poems. While the Lamb falls more into the category of innocence, almost that of a child, the Tyger falls more into a darker category, like a more knowledgeable adult wondering about God. Although these poems have a plethora to offer, the most notable parts of this story would have to be the religion, the speaking voice, and the theme of the poems. The simplest starting point with these poems would most certainly be the religious aspect. , because both of these poems directly reference Christianity, or at least a higher power. The name of the poem the Lamb itself refers to Christianity, as Jesus was called a lamb in the Bible. And after the narrator appears to ask who he is speaking to, which is somewhat implied to be Jesus, he goes on to say that the lamb is gentle and gentle, and has become a little child, (Blake, The Lamb), which is a reference to the birth of Jesus in the Bible, as the Lamb, or God, was born and became a little child. The Tyger refers to religion, or at least a higher power in a slightly more serious way, wondering what immortal hand or eye could frame your fearful symmetry, (Blake, The Tyger), in other words referring to that God could create such a fearsome one. creature, and seems almost...... middle of paper ......rds, and completely avoids any song quality, making mention of hammers, chains, anvils and furnaces, giving the image of 'a blacksmith, working far away in a hot room, lit by a furnace, hammering metal, almost giving the sensation of a dark abyss, like that of Hell. Taking these poems for all they are worth, they could be seen as Blake's evolution as a Christian, beginning as that of a young, innocent child, and slowly evolving into that of a more learned Christian, evolving almost towards a state of questioning certain intentions of God, or perhaps even reaching a state of agnostic type belief. Regardless, these poems certainly contain views of religion from very different perspectives and different perceptions of what God really is. Both poems seem to be an attempt to personify God and bring him down to a level that would be easier for man to understand..
