Does thou know who made thee

In The Lamb, William Blake gives the lamb human qualities and verbally engages the animal as if it were a fellow human. Blake refers to the lamb?s ?clothing? and ?tender voice;? these phrases are often reserved for human description. On numerous occasions Blake asks the lamb about its creator: ?Little Lamb, who made thee?? By asking this question on three separate occasions (phrased slightly differently at times), the reader is led to believe that Blake actually expects a response; he views the lamb as a contemporary with whom he can converse freely. By giving the lamb distinctly human qualities and speaking with the animal as if it were a fellow human, Blake highlights the interconnectedness between all living things. His conversation with the lamb causes the reader to question our own relationship to animals and the natural world.
