Analysis of "The Tyger" by William Blake

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright 
In the forests of the night, 
What immortal hand or eye 
Could frame thy fearful symmetry? 
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?
And what shoulder, & what art.
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

         This poem expresses "The Tyger" as an aspect of fear. Fear comes from objects one has little knowledge of, which prompts the speaker to ask many questions to widen the understanding of the tiger. From the line "What immortal hand or eye", is it clear that the recipient of all these questions is God. The big question the speaker asks god is, would he be satisfied with creating this aspect of fear and possible devastation? This question leads to another thought of confusion to the speaker, which is the confusion of the religion. As the speaker asks, "Did he smile his work to see?", he questions the religion if it is satisfied or even happy with creating the tiger. As confusion grows, fear does as well and unless the questions are soon answered, the fear will stay with one for quite some time.
         Personally, I fear what I don't understand because of my hatred to possess the aspect of failure. This poem is very relatable to my life, and I find myself very similar to the speaker, as we both ask many questions when faced with something we do not understand. The downside to this is my lack of will to step out of my comfort zone, which will affect me in my future life. As I grow older, I will have to learn to step out of this zone and try new things and hopefully more people can respect me for the accomplishments I make. As a wise man once said, "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering" (quoted from Yoda in Star Wars: Episode I).
