How are these two matched poems related to each other in content? How is the human being depicted in the Song of Innocence and how is he/she depicted in the Song of Experience? Do we find both aspects working in an average human being?

Answer 1

The two matched poems are related to each other because the two poems convey the figure of four virtues that is mercy, pity, peace, and love. The speaker in both the poem depicts human being like a figure of moral value having a moral commitment to society with a bunch of virtues.
