The Message Behind "A Poison Tree"

William Blake is the first generation of a romantic poet. He lived long and wrote many poems (Eaves). Black is also a painter. This helps black to promote the symbolism; he can use his words (eaves) to paint a nice picture. The poem I analyzed is a poisonous tree. Black strategically placed images and personifications to hide the underlying truth; do not save anger for terrible circumstances. At first glance, this poem seems to be full of hatred, and it is written only for revenge and uneasiness, but in fact it teaches moral lessons to take seriously.

William Black announced "Poison Tree" in 1794 poetry "The Book of Songs". As the title of the series suggests, poisonous trees have deepened the dark side of the human mind and solved the miserable result of suppressing anger. This poem depends on the metaphor of the tree and its poisoned fruit to insist that the longer the bottling period is, the stronger the anger is. Poisonous trees explore the anger damage to angry people and the people around them. Students may feel that the poems 200 years ago are still related to their lives.

William Blake's allegory poem "poison tree" is focused on the subject of anger. The poet 's spokesman revealed to his friends that he was angry and that his anger had vanished. However, when the speaker conceals anger against the enemy, anger grows like a tree. The fact that trees are "poison" indicates that we are also poisoned by ignoring or suppressing anger. An apple that appears in an angry tree symbolizes a toxic effect. The last line is ominous; the speaker gives a warning to the joy of "the enemies protruding under the tree" and tells us what happens when we suppress anger. If we ignore or deny our feelings, we will get worse, painful, even more retributive.

"Poison tree" begins in a very random way and this relatively optimistic opening is more pronounced by the sense of the virgin obtained from rhyming couplets. This is in stark contrast to the information in the previous section and the speaker revealed that his enemy died that he is "very happy". In contrast, Robert William's service has created a tense atmosphere from the beginning: "I have a painful enemy." Unlike black, the service does not hide hatred and cheating in figurative words and euphemisms and his poems. Both narrators have reached the same conclusion, but they were pleased with the death of others. The speaker of "hatred" is completely frank and straightforward about his enemies, and the speaker of "poison tree" secretly feeds his wrath; he fears soaks it in water .. And "to smile and dry"
