Blake Archetypes
Yin-Yang
(Three messages from Blake’s Archetypes)
With the Yin-yang symbol for people it has the thought of a lamb and a tiger. The Lamb has a gentle, innocent kind of outlook to it and the tiger has a fierce, outgoing look to it. They are completely different animals in every way but they complete each other because life has a perfect balance to it with both animals. In Blake’s archetypes they talk about how the lamb is for christianity and shows the goodness in people's life. The tiger that Blake writes about is talking about the strength that people can have when they do not have good experiences. In the chimney sweeper it talks about how children are neglected because their parents no longer want them. Infant Sorrow talks about the disappointment that the parents have when their child is born and how they no longer want them. In Blake’s archetypes it has the messages of innocence, strength, neglect, and disappointment. …show more content…
In the lamb, it shows that the lamb is gentle and has that nice, sweet outcome on life. The lamb is supposed to show an innocent creature that can be used as an image from God. People have shown mercy to the lamb because it is soft, the feeling of their wool has put a great imprint on some. On the yin-yang symbol the lamb represents the white innocent side so it halfway completes the life of the common people. “He is meek & he is mild, He became a little child: I a child & thou a lamb,(Lines 15-17)” In this quote it talks about how the lamb is like a little child all with the cuteness and adorableness. The lamb is very timid and is very fearful which is not always a good thing but not always a bad thing
