英国文学选读课后答案(2)
The Tiger P501. Why does the poet mention the Lamb? Do you think both the Lamb and the Ti ger canillu min ate each other?The Tyger is corresponding to The Lamb. Both the poems show the poet '卷xploration, understanding and plaint of the mysterious creation. In this poem, the author implies that the Tiger is created by God as well as the Lamb. S o either the Tiger or the Lamb is esse ntial to God. I thi nk both the Lamb and the Tiger can illu min ate each other. Although the Lamb can represe nt the kind"innocent society ” , it will be lack of eno ugh motivatio n to make progress. While the Tiger will caus e social misery, unrest or even disruption, but it can make people release their creativity. So the poet believes that the Tiger is the symbol of strength and courage. And he also praises its passi on, desire and all the lofty beauty.2. What is the symbolic meaning of the tiger? What idea does the poet want to express?The symbol of the Tyger is one of the two central mysteries of the poem (the other being theTyger s' creator). It is unclear what it exactly symbolizes, but scholars have hypothesized that the Tyger could be inspiration, the divine, artistic creation, history, the sublime (the big, mysterious, powerful and sometimes scary. Read more on this in the "Themes and Quotes" sect ion), or visio n itself. Really, the list is almost infinite. The point is, the Tyger is important, and Blake ' poem barely limits the possibilities The tiger is the embodiment of God's power in creation: the animal is terrifying in its beauty, strength, complexity and vitality. The poem is divided into six parts. In the first part, the author imagined that he met a terrible tiger on a dark night and was frightened by its awful eyesight. There are creatio ns and creators. How great the creator is that he could create such an awful creation like tiger! In the second part, the author continues to ask, where comes the eyesight like fire, sea or sky? The following two parts, the author describes the creator as a smith. He creates the tiger. What behind the questions is the frightening and respect of the author to the creator. I n the fif th part, the author cha nges his tone and asks whe n the stars throw dow n their spears, why they are not happy? The last part is as same as the first part, the creator is too mysterious to understand. The tiger shows its outstanding energy. It ' s the vitality which the auththinks highly of. The key sentence of the poem is "Did he who made the Lamb make thee?" It challe nges the one- track religious views of the 18 cen tury. Th s view on ly con cluded that godcreate the lame, he is so kind a father. But it didn ' t know god also create the tough tiger. He can also be very serious.
