    The poems I have chosen to analyze are “The Lamb” and “The Tyger” by William Blake. Blake’s opinions about humanity are quite special as well as his visions of Christ and Christianity because he believed in God but not in the church.

    William Blake’s poems “The Lamb” and “The Tyger” describe {two contrary states of the human soul} with “The Lamb” reflecting the soul at an innocent state, and “The Tyger” reflecting the soul at a more experienced (and destructive?) state. Blake’s poem “The Lamb” serves as a representation of a stage of innocence in one’s life, which encompasses purity, gentleness, and dependency. He describes the lamb as a docile, dependent creature with white, fluffy wool and a gentle voice, nothing out of…
