The Lamb, and The Tyger, two poems composed during the English Romantic period, were written by William Blake. I have taken both poems and juxtaposed them. ... The lamb represents good; the Tyger represents evil. ... Both in The Lamb, and in The Tyger, Religion is the foundation that both poems are based on. In The Lamb, the little lamb is asked, “Who made thee? ... Another symbol of religion is visible in lines 13 and 14, “He is called by thy name, / For he calls himself a Lamb”(13-14) Christians the world over, commonly refer to Jesus as the Lamb of God. This is also prevalent, in lines 16 and 17, “I a child & thou a lamb, / We are called by his name.”(16-17) The Child and the Lamb refer again, back to Jesus and his love for all children.
