Blake's Contradictions
I think that when Blake turns the book over he will resume his fantasy and see something that will amaze him and take him somewhere in the library that is private, but in Blakes mind its a wonderful place. Then when his mother realizes he is gone she will go searching for him, but in Blakes mind his mom is a SCREAMING MONSTER that tries to capture him. Blake runs away and tries to hide in the library where his mother is searching for him. Then the creature that blake is fantasizing about takes him to a room that holds a HUGE secret. The creature disappears and Blake is stuck back to reality and finds a tunnel leading under ground. Blake walks down the tunnel slowly and with caution. Then, when he gets down the tunnel, he finds a HUGE underground

    In William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience, the poems “The Lamb” and “The Tyger” are companion poems. Together, the two poems showcase one of Blake’s five main themes- childhood innocence can be dominated by evil after experience has brought an awareness of evil. With the lamb representing childhood and the tiger representing evil, Blake’s poems “The Lamb” and “The Tyger” focus on childhood and what people become after they grow and experience life.…

    Thus William Blake gives a very tragic and moving view of London and its inhabitancies.The bleakness and the dreary world of London is portrayed here. Indeed (The concept of universal human suffering permeates through Blake's dolorous poem "London," which depicts a city of causalities fallen to their own psychological and ideological demoralization,)which depicts a city of the picture of the exploitation and vulnerability of innocence . Innocence is devastated again and again. It is as if that England has stagnated morally and this moral degradation clearly expresses itself in the form of physically impaired children. Though the poem is set in the London of Blake's time, his use of symbolic characters throughout the piece and anaphoric use…

    Yin-Yang (Three messages from Blake’s Archetypes) With the Yin-yang symbol for people it has the thought of a lamb and a tiger. The Lamb has a gentle, innocent kind of outlook to it and the tiger has a fierce, outgoing look to it.

    Tolerance of inhumane actions has occurred throughout the entire history of the world. From one place to the next, there has always been a single person or a group of persons that will claim dominance over another - this is simply how institutions such as government and social classes are formed. In some cases, there is little argument and much agreement and diplomacy between those who are in charge and those who are under dominance of the more powerful, as seen throughout both India’s and China’s histories with rigid caste systems and tightly stratified social classes. This is due to the ideals of the people in those places, as much of their dependence is upon things such as order and the spiritual…

    William Blake Argument

    • 302 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Among the multitude of bewildering paradoxes in William Blake’s “Proverbs of Hell” is that which claims “The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom” (class handout). It is bewildering in the case that traditional moral teachings recognize overindulgence as sinful. After all, it is routine to condemn the wealthy, who possess more than enough, while simultaneously pitying the poor, whose possessions are meager. So how is it that Blake distorts this view to illustrate excess as not only a positive feature, but also as a desirable result, one that leads to the procurement of wisdom? Interestingly, Blake’s proverb does live up to its name, presenting a seemingly contradictory truth, but with two potential interpretations. In one instance,…

    Throughout William Blake’s life he came into view as not only a poet but an artist (Editors). His poetry was considered popular in the romantic period. Blake did not accept the eighteenth century literary style (Editors). He pushed the limits and came up with a new view on understanding poetry. Through William Blake’s beliefs and parents supporting his artistic abilities, his poetry was shaped into his own style; Blake’s childhood life as well as his later adult life affected the themes and styles of his poems.…

    Children are now welcomed to earth as presents bundled in pinks and blues. In the 1800’s children were treated as workers straight from the womb. Children trained early in age to perform unbearable tasks (Ward 3). Imagine how it felt to be unwanted by a parent and sold to a master who also cared nothing about them. Many children earned a few pennies by becoming chimney sweeps or working in the streets running errands, calling cabs, sweeping roads, selling toys or flowers and helping the market porters (Ward 3). The young children did not have much choice on which job (life) they wanted, but by far sweeping chimneys was the most dangerous. The children were forced into confined areas filled with comb webs, where they sacrificed their lives to clean. William Blake does a great job depicting hardship of children in the 1800’s in “The Chimney Sweeper” through the use of diction and imagery.…
