The Tyger By William Blake: What Happened That Made God Create The Tiger?

Question 1: What happened that made God create the Tiger?

In the poem “The Tyger” by William Blake, the tiger has been described as a dangerous weapon to humanity, because the poem explains that the tiger must have been created by an immortal, so many tools have been used to build this creature, and successfully it has help God win a war.

In the first stanza the poem states “What immortal hand or eye could frame thy fearful symmetry? And then the last stanza the author replaces the word “could” to “dare”. In other words, anyone could have created this creature, yet who would had the guts to create a massive weapon? It was complex to build it, yet it would serve for the good of the humanity. The tiger was known as a star, and the name of Lucifer was refer to Moonlight. Deep in the skies, there was a rebellion between rebilling angels and God. In stanza five the poem states, “When the stars threw down their spears, and watered heaven with their tears, did he smile his work to see?” Thanks to this creation, the war was finally over.

Question #2 what could have happened to the man in “We Are Seven” that made it so difficult for him to leave the little girl in peace?

Death is a hard word to understand.

Why do people die? Where do these bodies go to? There is so many emotions that come to mind when speaking of death. As adults, when our loved ones tragically past away, it is difficult for people to accept that these individuals are gone forever. The man who appears in the poem “We are Seven” by William Wordsworth, finds it so strange how a little girl cannot understand the concept of death. This man finds it so difficult to leave the little girl in peace because he wants her to understand that her siblings who passed away are gone forever, teach her about his religion, and he might also feel envy on how this girl treats this

situation.
The eight year old child keeps repeating to the man, “we are seven, but in reality they are just five because two of her siblings past away. This innocent girl does not understand the concept of death, she might think that her siblings are just taking a long nap. She believes that her two siblings are still alive, and this is why the girl does not feel pain at all. To the girl the man seems stubborn, but all he wants is to make her understand that “those two are dead! Their spirits are in heaven” (stanza 17). When the man speaks of Heaven, the reader can assume that he is religious and believes in God. This man is unable to leave this little girl alone because he might also feel envy by the way this girl has handle the death her siblings. She plays with them and eats with them without any trouble. She does not feel any pain as any other adult would. She is alright because she is a child, she does not understand what death is.
