Critical Commentary (Week 2)

This week I decided to go into deeper into the discussion we had in class of The Tyger. This time around looking back at the poem I started to realize the bigger differences between a trochee and an iamb  mainly because I never got the chance to truly understand what either was (possibly sad but we all start somewhere) and now I feel like I'm starting to grasp it (piece by piece however). I thought the way Blake used this form to convey something bigger than just the tiger was startling to be honest. How certain parts of the stanza had substitutions on purpose in order to take a line or a word's effect and amplify it or make the reader question this lines relevance to the entire piece. the imagery in itself just could strike a chant into the reader and evoke something deeper, something about more than a tiger or the creator.
