The poetic device that is used by the poet when he repeats the -ll sound is referred to as;

  • Alliteration

Alliteration is a poetic device that involves the repetition of the initial consonant sounds in a group of closely related words. The -ll sound is a consonant.

So, when the poet uses it repeatedly in a group of nearby words and sentences, he is applying alliteration.

Alliteration is important because it adds rhythm to a poem. It also improves memorization since it involves words that sound alike.

Conclusively, the device used by the poet in the above instance is alliteration.

Based on tone, why is it fitting that "The Tyger" is featured in a volume titled, Songs of Experience?
iren [92.7K]

It is feautrured in Songs of Experience because the poem talks about the experience of a tiger. It is a suspense poem. Indeed, the life of a tiger is full of suspenses. The poem's opening lines are:

<em>Tyger Tyger, burning bright, </em>

<em>In the forests of the night; </em>

<em>What immortal hand or eye, </em>

<em>Could frame thy fearful symmetry? </em>

The poet praises the the qualities of the tiger by asking questions without answering them. In the remaining lines of the poem, the author continues praising the perfectness of the animal, calling it dark craftsmanship. The thought-provoking point is about the comparison between <em>The Tyger</em> and the previous poem <em>The Lamb </em>which the poet himself doubts that the same God could create innocent spirit like a lamb and such a fierce animal like tiger at the same time. or it could be interpreted as God's different expressions showing his kindness in the face of lamb and his anger in the qualities of tiger.
