The Chimney Sweeper

Introduction

In 1789, the masterpiece of William Blake “The Chimney Sweeper” a poem of a sequel of “Songs of Innocence” appeared. The scarcely "'weep!'weep! 'weep! 'weep!" in the first stanza's last line attempt to describe that the child is actually saying “Sweep! Sweep!” which was the street cry of chimney sweeper. The poem reflects that the kids have a very practical viewpoint on the world. They do not fear from death and draw the best of their lives. This is pretty much opposite to its fellow poem written in 1794 in "Songs of Experience". In The Chimney Sweeper, the kid holds his parents responsible for his current situation of misery. Tom is poor in position, and he also charges "God & his Priest & King". This opinion is dissimilar from the view of its sister poem as in The Chimney Sweeper clear influence of society is visible and has an experienced viewpoint.

William 'in fact, employs satire in the innocence poem, rather of it being the so called "protectors of the poor" church, it is a companion chimney sweeper that jollies up little Tom Dacre. William here is attempting to stress that there is innocence and good witnessed in life, that if the kids can with imagination exceed their social limits then kids "need not fear harm".

Thesis Statement

“ The Chimney Sweeper holds the romantic essence in human nature and poet depicts annoyance against social issues and child labor.”
