1 - In your opinion, does the titulr tiger merely represent a tiger, or is it symbolic of something else? Ans- The titular Tiger does not represent mere tigers. the poet is talking about the physical beauty of the Tiger, its fearful symmetry ,its eyes and brain at etc and also the physical violence it is capable of .Thus, even though the tiger is beautiful it can also cause death. the poet tries to show how the tiger embodies both these contrasting ideas and also questions how it was created in order to clean the thinking behind such an incongruent creation .the poet also tries to demonstrate that only a powerful creator could think of making such a ferocious creature that is also a thing of beauty and leaves everyone in awe. 2 - Who do you think is the creator of the tiger in the poem? Ans- the creator of the tiger in the poem is god is also powerful and omnipotent. God has made an awe- inspiring dangerous creature, The Tiger which can kill and maim easily .this brings to light the moral issues involved in creating such an animal that is whether it is right to bring to life an animal that can we track Havoc and instructions for the it also shows that God willingly created an animal that can be considered bad or Evil as it kills other animals in other words it is God's will that Evil should exist along with good as without evil people will not learn to appreciate the good in others. 3 - Why does the poet consider it daring to have created the tiger? Ans-The poet considers it daring to create a tiger because the same creator also made the meek, innocent lamb and then he was daring enough to create a ferocious Tiger that can easily kill and Devour the lamb. Appreciation A 1- A quatrain is a stanza that has four lines. It is made up if rhyming couplets. The poem has six such quatrains. 2 - The rhyme scheme follows the pattern: aa, bb, cc. A couplet is a pair of succesive lines, typically rhyming and if the same length. 3 - The theme if the poem is the identity of the creator. He creates both good and evil. The theme is about religion, awe and amazement. 4 - By asking the creator if the tiger ( in this case Gid) how he manager to make such a powerful being and further asking God how ge could dare such a task, Blake is questioning the assumption that God is all powerful or omnipotent. 5 - The limitation is, it is questionable whether a poet could truly capture the truth about the God( Divine) in a poem. 6 - The poet has used an ironic tone in the poem. It seems as through he is meaning something and saying something else. He has used an ironic tone to keep up with the theme if religion and God and eternal mystery.

B 1 - a - alliteration/ repetition b- personification c- hyperbole d- imagery 2 - The lamb symbolises God, the creator of the tiger. 3 - Religion is brought about through the reference of the creator. Throughout the poem the poet is questioning the creator on how he managed to create such a powerful being. 4 - yes , the central theme of the poem is the creation of something powerful, and the struggle to contain the creation's power .the poet questions the creator how he went about creating such a ferocious creature and then questions him how how he had the courage to create the tiger. by describing the process of the Tigers creation the poet implies that the creator had carefully thought about how he wanted the tiger to be and that the creative news that the tiger would be capable of great violence.Thus it was the creators will to create such a ferocious animal and the creator took responsibility for creating such a creature ,which could kill easily. 5 - Examples of allusion from the poem are immortal hand and eye/distant deeps or skies. 6 - What the hammer? What the chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? What dread gasp, Dare it's deadly terrors clasp! Here the poet compared the creator to a blacksmith and question s with which hammer and chain or tools did he create and animals that could destroy his other creations. through the tigers creation, God willingly decided to introduce into the works an animal has destroyed other meek innocent animals. Therefore, the creation of the tiger was daring.
