Abstract in English


The Tiger
, William Blake’s poem, was published in a collection of


poems:
Songs of Experience
in 1794. Literary critic Alfred Kazin calls it

most
famous
of
his
poems,
and
The
Cambridge
Companion
to
William Blake says it is
one of Blake's most reinterpreted and arranged works. In the thesis, I will
attempt to make a stylistic analysis of this poem; the analyses will focus
on the
poem’s r
hythm and rhetoric. The aim is to let readers understand
the distinctive features and inner meaning of this poem, at the same time,
understand the poet’s emotion on this poem.

Introduction
1.1
Brief
Introduction
of
the
Author
—
William
Blake


William Blake is a transitional figure that marks the end of the 18th
century
and
the
beginning
of
the
19th
century
in
literature.
He
tries
to
show the romantic ideas but the form he used is conventional, close to the
18th
century.
And
of
all
the
romantic
poets
of
the
eighteenth
century,
William Blake is the most independent and the most original poet. Blake's
early
work
was
written
in
a
classical
style.
Later
he
used
the
romantic
style made popular by Wordsworth and Coleridge.

Blake
was
born
in
London
and
educated
at
Henry
Pars
Drawing
School.
After
becoming
established
as
a
graphic
designer
and
drawing
tutor, he opened a print shop in London in 1784. He lived in Sussex from
1800 to 1803, during which time he was charged with high treason but
acquitted. He returned to London and staged a rather unsuccessful show
of
his
artistic
work
in
1809,
after
which
he
went
into
obscurity
and
became a mystic.

As
a
supporter
of
the
French
Revolution,
he
openly
criticized
the
social
evils
that
he
linked
with
the
Industrial
Revolution.
His
work
is
usually seen in the context of his social, political and religious beliefs. He
was
not
really
understood
by
his
peers,
but
twentieth-century
readers
appreciate the greatness he achieved in his varied fields of interest.

1.2
The
Writing
Background
of
The
Tiger
The
Songs
of
Experience

was
published
in
1794.
At
that
time,
the
French
Revolution
and
the
American
War
of
Independence
broken
out.
For
Black,
an
underprivileged
craftsman
lived
in
London.
Which
had
been internalized into great spiritual event, not just in generally favor, but
warmly support. And it inspired him to battle bravely in his heart for the
new world as a prophecy of his imminent.
The

Tiger
is written in such a
background
and
expresses
a
strong
desire
for
revolutionary
feelings.
Blake puts violent revolution as a great spiritual power that can destroy
an
old
world
which
represses
and
imprisons
people,
and
the
world
can
transform the human soul in order to establish an earthly kingdom .
