Read the poem and answer the following questions

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,

In the forests of the night;

What immortal hand or eye,

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies.

Burnt the fire of thine eyes?

On what wings dare he aspire?

What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art,

Could twist the sinews of thy heart?

And when thy heart began to beat.

What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain,

In what furnace was thy brain?

What the anvil? what dread grasp.

Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears

And water'd heaven with their tears:

Did he smile his work to see?

Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger Tyger burning bright,

In the forests of the night:

What immortal hand or eye,

Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Answer & explanation

Correct answer: option 3

The correct answer is Option (3) → awe at its fearful beauty and power

Awe is a deep feeling of wonder mixed with fear and respect.

The speaker sees the tiger “burning bright” in the dark forest. He calls its shape a “fearful symmetry”.
Symmetry means a perfect balance in the shape of a thing. So the tiger is beautiful and frightening at the same time.
The speaker keeps asking who could make such a creature. These questions show his wonder and his fear together.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: pity for a hunted animal — Incorrect. Not mentioned: no one hunts the tiger in the poem. The speaker does not feel sorry for it. He is amazed by it.

Option 2: disgust at its cruelty — Incorrect. Wrong focus: the poem does speak of “deadly terrors”. But the speaker does not hate the tiger. He wonders at how it was made.

Option 4: amusement at its strange looks — Incorrect. Opposite meaning: amusement means finding something funny. The speaker finds the tiger “fearful” and full of “dread”. Nothing in the poem is funny to him.
