Lamb of God

Life is sweet, but life is hard. In “The Tyger” and “The Lamb” by William Blake, the speaker expresses a conflicted attitude towards God and the two poems differ in their tone towards God and all of his creations. The speaker, a follower of the christian faith, creates a powerful tone through the use of diction, imagery, and repetition in “The Tyger” and “The Lamb.” Both poems have conflicting attitudes toward God, for “The Lamb” creates a confident and passionate tone while “The Tyger” establishes a fearful and serious tone. Although “The Lamb” and “The Tyger” present different attitudes toward God, both poems share similarities through the use of their literary devices and presentations of questions about the creator. Both poems address…

The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” A lamb embodies moral characteristics that we can compare to Jesus. Jesus spends his time on earth doing all his deeds for our Father God.

In Heart of a Dog, this can clearly be seen through Sharikov and the Professor’s doings.

William Blake’s “The Lamb” paints a picture by using aspects of imagery of how “the Lamb” in the poem represents the Lamb of God, which is Jesus. Jesus is the son of God, who created everyone and everything. From the beginning of the poem, it is quite obvious there is a double meaning for “The Lamb”, that being the lamb’s physical attributes as a literal lamb and its spiritual meaning as Jesus.

For Blake, a child’s white hair is but a manifestation of their untainted youth and purity. In evidence…

Blake’s literary works.

The Tyger and the Lamb are both inspirations of God’s creation and are each other’s counterpart. The Tyger is alienated because of the fear, power, strength, and violence it makes people feel.

It is hard to understand how our creator could have created a creature like this. “Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright / In the forests of…
