The most prominent way
to critically analyze 's poem "" is to examine the messages and questions which Blake
poses in the poem.
For example, the most prominent question (which remains
unanswered by Blake) is how could God, the all-perfect and creator of goodness and innocence,
have created a creature which is seen as violent and evil?
The poem,
therefore, is meant to raise awareness of a reader in regards to God's thoughts and reasoning
behind his creation of the different animals on earth. While the poem specifically speaks to the
creation of the Tyger, one can easily come to question the creation of disease, natural
disasters, and other "evil" things as well.
Basically, Blake is
wanting readers to see why things exist as they do. He wants readers to question life. He wants
them to think about things instead of simply accepting them based solely upon blind
faith.
