read the poem.

a poison tree

by william blake

i was angry with my friend:

i told my wrath, my wrath did end.

i was angry with my foe:

i told it not, my wrath did grow.

and i water’d it in fears,

night and morning with my tears:

and i sunned it with smiles,

and with soft deceitful wiles.

and it grew both day and night,

till it bore an apple bright;

and my foe beheld it shine,

and he knew that it was mine,

and into my garden stole

when the night had veil’d the pole;

in the morning glad i see

my foe outstretch’d beneath the tree.

the tree in blake’s poem can be interpreted as an allusion to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the bible. defying god's command, adam and eve eat from the tree, and in return god expels them from the garden of eden.

how does this allusion affect the poem's meaning?

a) it depicts a world in which even the most innocent things, such as an apple, can conceal death at their core.

b) it suggests that because it has been nourished by anger, the apple will harm anyone who eats it.

c) it demonstrates that by being turned into something healthy—an apple—the speaker's wrath has been forgiven.

d) it implies that morality changes in different situations so that one cannot decide what is good and what is evil.
