I think that the unrhymed couples are the main key to understand the real essense of this poem: Blake is questioning and exploring the creative qualities of poetry as interpretations of phenomenons. In other words what is the relationship between language and the world it describes: it is a relation of non-symmetry because language itself is the limitation in understanding the world and its creations and therefore the couple doesn't rhyme.
I Loved this poem the first time I read it! So, I ask; “What does the Tyger represent, could it be the Mind?” As far as questions go, that’s where growth appears, not answers. Thank you for the best interpretation I’ve heard........
GREAT WORK!! It only got me thinking that maybe the Lamb he's refering is the lamb of song of innocence? where a boy tells a lamb that he knows who created it?? That's the only doubt I have after watching this. It's an excellent analysis! Thank you!
I thought about all these when i was a child, but could not write it as poem or anything like that. Once i finished education, i got a job and started paying my bills. There goes the tiger... for ever to deep forests never to come back again. Here in concrete jungles toils the humans to pay their bills.
By asking WHO could create the fearful deadly terror of a tiger, is Blake suggesting that maybe the obvious answer, God, isn't right? Is he suggesting another creator, maybe someone with more experience of fire and furnaces? Is he asking, "Could Lucifer create things, too, terrible things like a tiger?" Or is he suggesting that the kind, loving, merciful God we assume created the lamb (both the sweet little animal and Jesus Christ), sometimes discards kindness, love, and mercy to can create dreadful creatures? Is he suggesting that the Creator has a dark side?
The poem makes more sense if you consider that William Blake is directing his comments towards mankind, about the mysterious beauty of the tiger. The poem scolds mankind for man's cruel and brutal treatment of such a magnificent animal. The innocence and experience is contrasted with the violence of the tiger who kills to eat and survive, while mankind kills for sport. See my short Video: The Tyger by William Blake paraphrased by Alejandro Farrach.
