  1. Religion
    1. Holy Thursday (I)
      1. "Into the high dome of St Pauls like Thames waters they flow"
        1. Ao2: lexical choice- "high dome of St Pauls" attempt by church to gain transcendent position
          1. Ao2: simile "like Thames waters" suggests religion controls the masses
        2. The Chimney Sweeper (E)
          1. "gone to praise God and his Priest"
            1. Ao2: choice of capitalisation of "Priest" implies paralleled with God
              1. Praising not only God but also religion and the church
          2. Holy Thursday (E)
            1. "How the chimney sweepers cry and ever blackening church appalls"
              1. Ao2: use of metaphor "blackening church appalls" for religion discarding the poor (sweepers"
                1. Ao4: literal reading of "blackening churches" pollution experienced in cities during IR
                2. AO3ii Marxist: oppression of poor
            2. Danger of change in society
              1. The Tyger
                1. "Tyger Tyger burning bright in the forests of the night"
                  1. AO2: rhyming couplets presents an almost witch-like chant
                    1. AO2: use of imagery of Tyger's pattern implies it is a beacon of change
                      1. AO3ii: Metaphor for society?
                  2. London
                    1. "the hapless soldiers sigh runs in blood down Palace walls"
                      1. AO2: metaphor "soliders sigh runs in blood" suggests totalitarian state
                        1. AO3ii Marxist
                    2. The Divine Image
                      1. "The human heart, its hungry gorge"
                        1. Ao2 lexical choice of "gorge" suggests feeding on or chartered (London)
                          1. AO4 context
                          2. AO2 biological "heart" vs industry "gorge"
