poetry analysis

The Tyger versus The Lamb was a very interesting contrast to me. The Lamb has a sweet reverential tone that is very "pastel". It is the light side of the human experience, and goes through the different representations of the Lamb. the lamb can be a representation of Christ, the sacrificial lamb, as well as the fact that we are lambs to be saved. The Tyger, in contrast, represents the dark side of human experience. The Tyger is bright and loud. it is abrupt and powerful and represents the fact that sometimes we can be too hard on ourselves.
These two poems, after analysis, give a good contrast and i appreciate them much more now that i understand what they mean. they are poems that i believe are a very good representation of the two sides of human experience, and i believe that we all experience both sides at some point.
