“The Tiger” is a popular and much-quoted poem from William Blake's anthology “Songs of Experience” in which he describes the creation of the tiger and, in doing so, highlights the dichotomy between good and evil. The poem is about Blake asking how the creator of such good could create such evil. Blake uses a powerful rhyme scheme, with allusions and rhetorical questions to reflect the evil within The Tyger. Blake structured The Tyger using six quatrains. He used literary devices such as repetition, rhyming couplets, imagery, and a wide range of rhetorical questions. The first quatrain begins with “Tyger! Tiger! Burns bright. The use of repetition in this line is to capture the reader's attention. He uses the word "Tiger" as a metaphor for evil. In his poem "The Lamb", he uses the Lamb as a metaphor for innocence, while the Tiger is a wild and destructive animal. He goes on to describe the tiger as “burning bright” and “in the forests of the night.” This suggests that he is commenting on how something obvious can also be elusive and hidden. This evokes the image of the Tiger lurking in the dark night. This also supports the idea that the Tiger is a mysterious creature capable of committing great evil. The quatrain ends with a rhetorical question: "What immortal hand or eye could frame your fearful symmetry?" This connects to the central theme of the poem: who created the tiger? Did the loving God create the lamb or the Devil himself? Blake's use of language in the second quatrain paints a picture of heaven and hell. “In what abysses or distant skies did the fire of your eyes burn?” Blake is using an allusion to create a biblical reference to Heaven and Hell, then to the distant depths (hell) or the heavens (heaven... center of the paper...) to capture the reader's attention and re - introduce the first lines of the first quatrain. These lines invoke the same imagery in the first quatrain of a mysterious environment, implying that the tiger is a beast of the night. The "immortal hand or eye" is a biblical reference to the immortal God. The only difference Blake makes in his final quatrain is the last line. In his first quatrain he asked "Could you frame your fearful symmetry?" in the sixth quatrain, it changes to "Dare to frame your fearful symmetry". Blake now asks God if he would "dare" to create such a fearsome creature. God created the Tiger with the intention of making it a terrifying and evil beast. He gave the Tiger free will, and there is no excuse for the Tiger to be capable of doing good instead of evil..
