The lamb is meek, giving the sense of happiness, joy, and pleasure which makes people feel the best out of life. As the Tyger is seen having fiery eyes and burning bright. It is hard to understand how our creator could have created a creature like this. “Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright / In the forests of the night, / What immortal hand or eye / Could frame thy fearful symmetry?” (Blake, 2006, p.690) It’s as if the tiger was created from fire and looked at as a bad thing, not a good thing which was created by God, but created by Satan the creator of such

The story of Prometheus, tells of how the titan Prometheus gifts fire to man, and all of the beneficial consequences that subsequently arose from this knowledge. Frankenstein draws from Prometheus to develop the topic of god-like knowledge, and even originally titling itself as The Modern Prometheus.

    Marvin Trachtenberg, “Suger’s Miracles, Branner’s Bourges: Reflections on “Gothic Architecture” as Medieval Modernism”, Gesta, 39.2 (2000)m 183-205.
