Answer:
The statement that most clearly expresses what the speaker in "The Tyger" seeks to understand it:
d) the true nature of the tiger's creator.
Explanation:
"The Tyger" is a poem by William Blake. The speaker of the poem asks the same question, twice:
<em>What immortal hand or eye, </em>
<em>Could frame thy fearful symmetry?</em>
He also asks about the tiger:
<em>Did he who made the Lamb make thee?</em>
The speaker is questioning the nature of the tiger's creator. Assuming the same God created both, the lamb and the tiger, the speaker is both fascinated and frightened in face of such creativity. The tiger is a representation of violence, power, ferociousness. The lamb is meek, quiet, incapable of causing harm. How can the same God make both? Why would He? The speaker is baffled by such unanswerable questions.
