Answer:
hiii!!!
Explanation:
Tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And, when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
Tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

3. In stanza 2, the line “On what wings dare he aspire?” alludes to the myth of Daedalus and Icarus. Icarus dares to fly too high, too close to the sun with his wings of feather and wax. The wax melts and Icarus plummets to earth.
How does the allusion to Icarus create meaning in this poem?
It questions whether creating the tiger is too dangerous.
The fear and shuddering when thinking of a tiger, with its killer instinct and sharp claws. These feelings can be contributed to the human reactions of commonplace. The instinctual feelings are the wondering and the awe-inspiring sight that the speaker in the poem paints of the daring creator.
One might say the bard questions Gods ulterior motive about the creation of the tiger. Wings may be a symbol for an angel, or an angel with darker ambitions. The wings, depths and heights might also be seen as the Greek mythological story of Icarus and Daedalus. The lesson of this story is of moderation, and the asks if God knows his own limitations. “Dare” is emphasized through repetition, questioning the courage and will of God.
