Reflection: "The Lamb" and "The Tyger"

The two poems by William Blake seem to work together for their greater meaning to become. The lamb is shown as an innocent peaceful creature, macrocosmicly representing goodness. On the other hand "The Tyger" focuses on a animal characterized as a fearful, evil being, or on a larger scale all that is evil. In both poems the poet questions who created these two very different creatures. He wonders how god could create such a good thing as well as such a bad thing. The lamb is kind of heavenly, a happy, innocent, fluffy, warm animal. Whereas the tiger is hellish, firy, and frightening. In a way, it shows how he thinks that god created everything in the earth both good and evil.
