Do people fear the unknown or do they fear the knowledge they would acquire in pursuit of the unknown?

Why are the characters so set on the appearance? Why do they all assume that the creature is evil upon first sight without ever giving him a chance?

Whatever happened to Ernest Frankenstein? Right after the death of Alphonse Frankenstein, Victor immediately resolved to leave Geneva in pursuit of the “demon”. However, nothing was said about Ernest and his whereabout/ situation.

Is the Tyger supposed to represent ambition and drive or be an “animal” that should be feared?

Blake seems to find love for both the good evil creations of God. I wonder if Blake believes God does this on purpose? Does God develop evil for the good? Does it follow the John Keats quote we read in class, “Beauty is truth, truth is Beauty”? (Ying Yang)

Why does the lamb have to represent innocence and the “tyger” represent evil? Why can’t the lamb represent ignorance and the tyger represent realism?

Since the Lamb is praised and written so highly of does the Lamb  represent something greater than just a lamb? Does the Tyger also have a meaning? 

These two poems by Blake show a deep contrast with one another. The overall message I’m getting from these two poems is that when Blake witnesses something sweet, innocent, or wholesome he automatically attributes it to god’s doing, hence the little lamb. However, he questions if whatever isn’t sweet, innocent, or wholesome is still a creation of god even though both those things share the same world, hence the tyger.

What does the author mean by Paradise in the last line? Is it an invitation to all to exist in a realm of spontaneity? A call to join in a realm of greater imagination?

Why did William Blake structure his work the way he did? Do the lines indented have any significance compared to the other lines?
