What is the primary theme of "The Tyger" by William Blake?

Loss and despair
Peace and serenity
Fear and anxiety
Courage and strength

The correct answer is: Courage and strength

The primary theme of "The Tyger" by William Blake is courage and strength, portrayed through the powerful and fierce imagery of the tiger. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the dominant tone and symbolism used in the poem. Option A suggests that the poem is about negative emotions, while option B portrays a sense of calmness that is not reflected in the poem. Option C may be tempting due to the word "tyger" being associated with fear, but the overall message of the poem focuses on the bravery and resilience of the tiger. Therefore, option D is the most fitting choice.
