Light and Shadow
In the poem The Little Boy Lost and The Little Boy Found. I find that the light and the shadow act a very interesting character in the picture. When the little boy lost in the woods that the picture shows him is trying to catch the light in front of him, and the rest of the trees that behind him is dark. But after the god find him, the side of the trees that face to them are bright, and another side is dark. It shows two different moods of the little boy, and offers a clear emotion line to the reader.

Lydia, I agree with your description of the scenery in both pictures. I think Blake has a way of solidifying acts of the Bible and incorporating his interpretation of it throughout his work. I also agree with what you mentioned about light and dark. I also think that he uses, as most prophets, light to symbolize good and dark to symbolize evil or loneliness.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your analysis of the Little Boy Lost and The Little Boy Found. The shading and lighting in both pictures definitely adds to the overall effect the picture has on the reader. The asociationg of lighter shading to good, and darker shading to dark helps the reader understand the artwork much better.
