The Tyger

by William Blake


What effect does the punctuation of the poern

have on its meaning?


1- Many lines contain commas,

making the poem about the

speaker's frustration.


2- Repeated questions show that the

speaker understands nothing

about creation.


3- Each line ends in a period, making

each a statement about the human

soul.


4- Many questions make the poem an

inquiry about the mysterious tiger.
