“The Tyger” by: William Blake. Summary I believe the tiger and the lamb are metaphors for characteristics of humanity. With the human race being superior to all other creatures‚ how is it that we have those that are preferred lamb like and others that are feared as much as the tiger? What was he/she thinking?

A Poison Tree by William Blake can be interpreted to be a metaphor that explains a truth of human nature. I believe that this poem teaches how anger can be dismissed by kindness and friendliness‚ and nurtured to become a deadly ‘poison’.
