As a new way of critiquing the Romantic period, desperate times call for desperate measures and did so through the use of children's point of view in Romantic poetry. A fifty-year period called the Romantic Period included the French Revolution, the American Revolution, and the wars of national independence in Europe. William Blake, one of the best-known Romantic poets, commented on his society by seeing it through the eyes of the child in the two sets of "Songs of Innocence and Experience." It is said that ignorance is a blessing but not according to William Blake. Blake has another meaning of "Innocence"; It refers innocence to ignorance. This means that innocence is corrupted and full of naivety. It is the ignorance of corruption, of the real world order. It's not the state of ignorance that William Blake hated, but being stuck in that state is the problem. We are born innocent but we must lose this innocence and regain it to deserve it. It's not about never falling, but about getting back up every time we fall. How do we lose our innocence? We lose it for "Experience". What is "Experience"? It means stepping outside our understanding of the real world and seeing its true face. In a way, a child represents innocence; an unblemished innocence that sees the world as a place of peace, love, forgiveness and an ideal place where dreams come true. Soon the child will encounter real life and soon he will be stained, soon he will decide whether to get up or fall. Life is full of deception and William Blake describes the deception of the religious, social and political system. In his masterpiece Songs of Experience and of Innocence, William Blake uses the child to explore the world anew. From this perspective he is able to talk about the world and expose its reality... in the middle of the paper... which is experience. Through our experience we should seek a higher innocence. Innocence in Blake's Songs of Innocence is mocked by experience in Songs of Experience. Children and women were abused and Blake defended their status through his series of poems which present two different perspectives on life in the 1800s. The genius in the two series of poems is that Blake was able to see the world in a new way through the eyes of children. hidden between the line and in rhetorical devices.
