symbolism
Blake's poetry is rich in symbolism, using various images to convey deeper meanings. For instance, he frequently employs symbols of innocence such as children, flowers, and certain seasons
On the other hand, urban landscapes and industrial machinery symbolize rationalism and the oppressive forces it brings, as illustrated in his poem "London," where the city is depicted as a vast prison ensnaring both rich and poor in misery
Modern critics view Blake's symbols as archetypes, representing universal concepts embedded in the collective unconscious
In his longer poems, characters embody different perspectives on existence and often serve as vehicles for historical prophecies
One of Blake's most renowned dual symbols, closely tied to his reflections on the French Revolution, is the lamb and the tiger
These symbols encapsulate contrasting aspects of human nature and societal dynamics, adding layers of meaning to Blake's profound explorations
