William Blake through his poems “The Lamb” and “The Tyger” represents the good and evil that exists in the world. When he talks about a lamb, he describes it as a meek, mild, and innocent animal. He compares the lamb with an inoffensive child; and I completely agree with the author because children are docile, friendly, and quiet creatures as a lamb. On the other hand, Blakes illustrate the tyger as a fearful, frightful, and evil animal which represents the dark side of life. The author does not conceive how these two dissimilar creatures could come to same creator, God. Certainly, God creates good and bad, but he gives us free will in order that we can decide what we want to do if a virtuous lamb or a vile tiger.
