To say William Blake was devoted to religion is an understatement. He was fanatical, and I think it really shows in his works. He was not just a fantastic poet, he was an artist too.
The Tyger elicits very strong feelings from the reader. Threatening, Imposing, but also accepting, as if Blake himself was openly showing his acceptance for god’s plan, even if it involved things as fearful as the Tyger. The poem is so concise with it’s point, being in stanzas of 4 with the rhyme scheme. This simplicity mirrors this idea of the divine, perfect.
(I tried inserting an image of “The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with Sun” but it delete everything I wrote so I encourage you to search it up. It’s my favorite work of Blake.)
