end. Even though both of these authors have different techniques towards their stylistic approach, their work is still intriguing and unique for every reader. “The Lamb” and “The Tyger”, written by William Blake, both illustrate how the mood can influence the theme and how it is perceived to the audience.

William Blake fan, I receive at least one request per month from students asked to interpret William Blake's wonderful lyric, "The Tyger." The contrast with "The Lamb" is obvious. ("Little Lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee?" The answer is God, who became incarnate as Jesus the Lamb.) "The Tyger" asks, "Did he who made the Lamb make thee?" And the answer is, "Yes, God made the Tyger too." To understand "The Tyger" fully, you need to know Blake's symbols. One of the central themes in

However, despite being very different works of literature, both of the pieces were created in the same time period, and in the same political and international climate (Blake and Lincoln). Both of the literary works are concerned with similar themes, and with the changing political and social climate in western Europe during

Part I: One could argue that Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Women was one of the earliest feminist philosophical works that set the standard for the feminist phenomenon we know today. In A Vindication of the Rights of Women, Wollstonecraft states that it is indeed not a normal incidence that instated the variances between man and woman, but it is civilization and convention that introduced these differences. Furthermore, she positions herself to say that it is the way men

Lamb to the slaughter, a short story by Roald Dahl is very interesting and mysterious. The story is about a loving and caring woman, named Mary, who is asked for a divorce by her husband. Ironically, she kills her husband with a leg of lamb, and makes up a story to protect her baby, who she is pregnant with. Police Officials and detectives come, but they are unable to find the murderer, or the weapon. Irony impacts this story because it creates the suspense and adds a twist/turn to the story. Roald
