Comparing The dear and The Tyger by William BlakeIn this essay I am going to analyse, liken and contrast ii poems byWilliam Blake. They are called The Lamb and The Tyger. I will belooking at how Blake uses imagery, structure and form to createeffects and how the surround that Blake lived in affected the fashionhe wrote his poems.In the late eighteenth century, the world was changing and developing into anew world rather fast.Blake was born in London, the third of five children. Because of therelatively lower centre class status of his fathers line of work,Blake was raised in a utter of not quite poverty, yet he saw what lifecould really be like if he was down on his luck, and this he would develop for the rest of his life.When he was nineteen the American variety happened and this caused great(p) fond unrest in the high and wealthy classes.
