Based on 2 poems by William Blake, animation by Ulf Kristiansen.
Blake is building on the conventional idea that nature, like a work of art,
must in some way contain a reflection of its creator. The tiger is strikingly
beautiful yet also horrific in its capacity for violence. What kind of a God,
then, could or would design such a terrifying beast as the tiger? In more
general terms, what does the undeniable existence of evil and violence in the
world tell us about the nature of God, and what does it mean to live in a world
where a being can at once contain both beauty and horror? The open awe of
"The Tyger" contrasts with the easy confidence, in "The
Lamb," of a child's innocent faith in a benevolent universe.
By letting the tiger recite "the Lamb" , the
tiger appears somewhat mephistotelian even though the lamb is not letting
herself be seduced. The tiger is also less than impressed by the lamb’s poetry
reading and seems to be planning his next meal.
