Blake’s famous poem The Tyger looks at the idea of creative intent: of how a benevolent omniscient God could create symbols of both good and evil. Blake spends time articulating the raw power and majesty of the tyger; a creature that seemingly holds no subservience to man of his maker. Blake asks the rhetorical question, "Did he who made the Lamb make thee?" The answer is that God did make these symbols of good and evil and, like the tyger, He (God) need not answer for it.
