The question of the creation and origin of mankind has been at the center of conversation for centuries. Most people will agree that there is a higher power and will even agree that they are religious. During the “Enlightenment period” of early America, many different opinions arose regarding our existence. William Blake confronts evil directly with truth by illustrating the “Tiger” searching for his creator using diction and repetition. Blake cleverly draws us a picture of the tiger starting from the whole, asking the tiger who could make the frame. Blake then moves on to the tiger's eyes, as he states, "burned the fire of your eyes." He continues to vividly draw the picture for the reader, taking him on a cosmic journey as the immortal hand creates his masterpiece. The tiger creator uses his imagination and creative thinking to produce a one-of-a-kind creation. The heart depicted as a powerful part that the common man cannot control nor would dare to bring to life. “The nerves of your heart” gives us a verbal image of only the strongest muscle used to create it; nothing was spared in the formation of the heart. Once brought to life, there is no person who can contain its strength. For this reason, who would dare to bring such unbridled force into life? As the poem continues its description of the tiger, it asks the question, “In what furnace was your brain?” the Bible consistently links fire to purification. As the tiger creates, it is created with a pure brain; then he will have pure thoughts and clarity. The complete tiger creation is presented to the reader as a powerful, unique and pure creation. This creation is perfectly crafted and the creator approves his work with a smile. It begins… in the middle of the card… things: “Did he who created the Lamb create you?” Blake wants the tiger to not only recognize that an omnipotent creator created him, but also that the creator created all things. In conclusion, Blake paints a very distinct picture of God and his creation in today's world. People created by an Almighty Creator are brought to life in a unique and specific way; he sees them as good and smiles at them. The evil, dark world we live in has perverted our thinking and minds to the point that we have forgotten not only who created us, but how special and perfect He made them. God delights in His creations and longs for them to know who He is. God has complete control over all things; He even controls the stars and heavens. Works Cited Kennedy, X J. and Dana Gioia.
