Compare and contrast the poems The Tyger and The Donkey and Essay

oppose and contrast the poems The Tyger and The Donkey anddiscuss which poet gives us the clearest depiction of humansity.William Blake is a squiffy, u writer who separates himselffrom the rest of the wealthy community. Blake has a hate for thetechniques used by many of the wealthy, company owners who gain andcapitalise through cheap and spendable labour, supplied by theever-growing poverty in the country. Blake makes a point to try and give out this industrial savagery through his work. The Tyger ispresented as a metaphorical cost to the struggle between the richand the poor in effect(p) and evil. The several references to good and evilreinforce this idea and meaning.The Tyger holds one smashing metaphorical element, which is, whatcreated the tiger? Good or evil? It raises many theories for thetigers existence but the principal(prenominal) point is to show that there is good andevil in everyone and everything. Blake shows us how something sobeautiful can really be both(pre nominal) beautiful but still retain a certainferocity and savagery. such(prenominal) as the wealthy factory owners of the 18thcentury, they offered a well-paid job and good employment benefits,but that was all just a faade. The truth was fasten and dangerousworking conditions, low pay and long hours yet the the great unwashed continuedto labour in these factories at their own expense, while the wealthyowner sat back and watched workers toil and cash flow. The metaphorfor this is identical temptation, desperation and greed can lead people tobe fooled, though true these people werent greedy yet they weredesperate for money to survive, although they could not judgecorrectly for themselves and became entrapped in the businessmansdeception. Just like The T... ...tent, the final stanza sums up everything within the poem, afterall the questions it comes to a conclusion in the radiation diagram of a finalquestionWhat immortal hand or center dare frame thy fearful symmetry?The Donkey ha s a funny rhythm, one that also relates to the animalbeing referred to. The rhyme pattern imitates the donkeys walk,1-2-1-2, this purpose isnt easily recognised, but to notice it, showsthe depth of the poem. Chesterton either included this but bychance or meant to do it, which shows a strong anchor to hiswritings.Both poems are similar in many respects and both writers share commonideas, the use of animals to portray ideas and the views they haveabout human kind. Both The Tyger and The Donkey show elements ofeach other, and this is reflected in the writer, two great minds, withgreat mindsets on life and human kind.
