is he talking about a literal tiger or he is referring/ comparing someone to a tiger?

Maybe its a kind of candle
A kind of light?

Why did Blake spell ‘Tyger’? I wonder if people spelled like that back then?

I think by fire he means how the fur of the tiger looks like a bright fire

why did he write tiger like that to rhyme ?

Where does the speaker exactly live? why is forest plural? does he really mean forests or is this a metaphor that I, the reader cannot understand since i am not the author.

the way that the author is describing the setting in this sentence is completely different from what the picture shows at the bottom

Tiger is created by someone who is immortal- someone who lives forever. Tiger is created by the God. The writer is fascinated by the God’s creature.

I believe the author was referring to god. And sort of compared Tyger to a god like creature. How Tyger puts fear into the eyes and hearts of the beings that cross his path.

he mentions immortal power and spirtuality a lot

Or is making a reference to fire based on the . color of the tiger, saying who dare touch a tiger.

The third line of the first stanza could depict God. William Blake was a religious man. The line could be God because God is immortal. In addiction, the right hand of God symbols the Bible. Lastly, God sees everything so maybe thats why ‘eye’ is mentioned in this line.

I say this because he says “what immortal hand or eye, could frame they fearful symmetry”, and it sounds like he’s saying what kind of god would take such a shape or form

who would or could create a Tyger. But I’m pretty sure he was referring to god as the maker of a tiger because he grew up as a christian. And God is immortal.

In the first three lines there is a rhythm, but in the fourth one, it is broken because it is longer.

This vexes me. He’s already created this rhythm, then he violates it.

Susan, you said that scholars say he did it on purpose, right? Tell me why, again?

How is symmetry fearful? is something making it scary? whats the deeper meaning behind this?

what does the speaker mean when they say “fearful symmetry”? I sort of understood when we looked at a picture of a tiger with a symmetrical face but how does this tie back to the meaning of the poem?

God created the symmetry.

I like to read poems, and I’ve read a lot. I’ve seen this technique, where the poet breaks their own rhyme. I don’t know how to describe this,

it threw me off guard, and made me uncomfortable overall

like how dose it connect to a hammer or an anvil. Or is it just describing a tiger in general.

what does symmetry have to do with brave or fearless ness

Based on this I think he was talking about the depths of the sky because in the verse that comes after, it states,“Burnt the fire of thine eyes” and the sun burns your eyes when you look into the sky for a while. And it seemed like he was wondering why that happened.

he’s probably saying how far you can go is you be powerful or brave

I like this metaphor because Blake described tiger’s eyes really good, so we can feel how they really look. They are “burning”.

because when you think of fire you think of someone or something big and bad. So is he saying that the has become stronger.

I’m confused on what this mean

To aspire means to go ahead and move forward. The poet connotates a wing to aspiring because wings are used to fly. And he clearly wants to move on.n

is the wings supposed to represent angels?

he probably means how dare someone try to take what makes u special away from you

what type of art is it

did he actually mean shoving someone with his shoulder or he means an actual shoulder

why sinew out of everything do animals have a sinew

this mean you could stop your heart from being brave

has if he was scared of something

When the poet says dread, he s refering to an act of fear. But why would the poet say what dread hand and feet if he didnt fear something? What is he referring to

why feet? why not something else like armpit or thighs??

what if he trying say to that you hand and you feet can help do brave this so its saying use them don’t let them be dread body parts

Fixing something?

The poet is confused. Just like when we say what the heck or what is going on? But why would he refer to tools. A hammer is used to nail something in and a chain is used to lock.

Why did they ask in which furnace was the brain? what does this line connote to in real life? what was william blake trying to tell us or ask us here in this sentence?

it means fear, worry, concern, horrible, awful

The punctuation in the sentence has an exclamation mark at the end, this probably means this line should be loud

are they talking about the tigers deadly clasp or something much more greater than a tiger

This line intrigues me. I wonder what it could symbolize or what was the intention of this line. I wonder if this line has a religious meaning behind it.

I believe he meant how bright the stars light shined on people like it almost hurt like a spear

what does he mean whose tears water’d heaven (god, Jesus) this is just little confusing

The author is incinuating that its so magical how he creates things. Almost like a snap of a finger.

does he mean mean like he has the tiger is a male not a female

The poet is thinking of how he ended up hear. he is referring to a religious belief that God has created us. Is he clueless or undecisive of what he was possibly taught growing up?

he’s talking about being brave and show how special he or you are

imortal hand

The first stanza and the last stanza have every word in common except the first word of the last line. In the first stanza the line goes “what immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?” but the last stanza goes “what immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?”. Why does William Blake choose to change that word? What might this act of diction represent?

is it because it seems perfect and perfect is uncommon so it can be fearful.
