The symbol is used as a point of convergence for t ...

... Tiger? The belief that every word in a poem has a distinct purpose answers the question with a no. Blake spells the word as "Tyger" to serve as a metaphor. "Tyger" at a most basic level represents all beasts of the world. At a more detailed level, the word represents a sharp contrast from the softness and goodness of "the Lamb." "Tyger!

Emily should be able to do as she pleases, but her dependence her father does not allow her to have that freedom.

... makes a man, it's the heart and mind of a one. In a way Lennie is the mouse because of his innocence and George is a man because of the burden he carries with him. By giving George the last name of Milton, Steinbeck seems to be showing that he is an example of fallen man, someone who is doomed to loneliness and who wants to return to the Garden of Eden.
