Essay One: The Irrational Rationale
Blake presents a unique exploration of irrational and/or paradoxical situations. For this essay, I would like you to extend Blakes argument as a platform to construct your own insights on how the dubious nature of the sublime may reveal some of our most inherent fears, insecurities, and desires.
Here are some suggested framing questions to help you get started:
Is it possible that Blake is advocating that the relationship between darkness/brightness and good/evil is symbiotic and essential? If so, how can this poem help us change our perspective on the importance and/or influence of evil/darkness in our lives?
