Question

Tyger tyger, burning bright, in the forests of the night; what immortal hand or eye, could frame thy fearful symmetry? in "the tyger" by william blake, to what does the "fearful symmetry" of the tiger refer? its head its eyes its claws its body

Answer 1

The "fearful symmetry" clearly refers to the entire body of the tiger. The poem is about God, and is asking whether an omnipotent being could construct such an animal. Thus, the entire animal is subject to analysis.
