Bu satırlar hakkında sorular

What does the tiger symbolize in The Tyger?

The tiger represents terrifying beauty, fierce energy, and the mystery of creation. Its contrast with the lamb raises questions about how gentleness and destructive power can share a creator.

Why does Blake change could to dare at the end of The Tyger?

The change shifts the question from who had the power to create the tiger to who would risk doing so. It intensifies the speaker’s awe without resolving the mystery.
