Thoughtful Poetry

Having discussed and analyzed the poem “The Little Black Boy”, the understanding of Blake’s world has become a bit clear for me because poetry is such a huge world of subjectivity that means it is impossible to agree with everybody. Many of the keystones presented in Blake’s poetry have been developed in this work.
One of the most important human characteristic represented in this poem is: the searching of equality. For instance, when the boy states that he is black but his soul is white what Blake is pointing out is that we are all the same and there is no skin color which makes us different or special. In other words, what really matter is the color of our souls.
Secondly, the mother and son relationship is representing eternity because there is no such real love and complicity as mother’s love. For example, here we have the image of a mother who is really present in her son’s childhood teaching him values and sharing with him experiences.
