William Blake is to me one of my favorite poets, besides Edgar Allen Poe. Blake wrote galore(postnominal) great poems but one of my favorites is called capital of the United Kingdom. In this poem Blake brings to on the loose(p) the dark times of the England in the 1700s. The way he does this is by bringing truth, to a town that is run by monarchs, overflow with poverty, and gleaming with hardships. This is portraying the hard working lower chassis and commoners to the lazy, non-chalant, upper class, church, and the monarchs. William Blakes capital of the United Kingdom shows the evils of what the church and monarchs done in this era.
The first thing that came to mind while reading this marvellous poem, was the bringing to light of what was happening to the common serviceman during this time. The examples of this is when he sees the populations faces that he meets, he sees marks of weakness and marks of woe.

Having said this I think Blake by writing London is trying to help people realize that they need to try and help each other in order to populate and overcome the weakness.
The next thing that Blake brings to mind in London is the how harsh the economy was and how the monarchs let good and morality fade away so everyone can suffer even more. In the poem Blake talks about hearing every mans cry. (Blake, 841) One may think that they are physically crying, but the cries are actually the pain and suffering that the people are having to endure. To me this means that because of the spreading famine and disease, people were dying(p) and killing each other just for some shabu food that may have been weeks old. Also, to me this means that the cries were pleas to the wealthy and prayers to divinity fudge to help this horrible time pass and make everything better. This is the imaginativeness of what Blake is trying to place in the peoples heads to help them realize what...If you hope to get a full essay, order it on our website: Ordercustompaper.com
