Compare how power is presented in Checking
out me History and London (30)
In ‘Checking out me History’ and ‘London’, both poets direct their aversion to misuse of power by the
aristocracy; through elucidation of inimical effects, it has on people (as controlling and provoking) and both
poets aim to transmogrify this. However, Agard explores a solution to this yet Blake indirectly calls for help
through the poem.

Both poems employ chremamorphism to elucidate oppressive power as controlling. In ‘London’, oppressive
power has caused even the inanimate Thames (nature) to become ‘Charter'd’. The description of ‘Charter’d
hi Thames’ gives the idea of misery verisimilitude as rivers flow freely yet here, they're constricted which is
similar to the lives of the people. The open assonance of "does flow" almost creates a sense of a river
running freely, but it is immediately cut short by the harsh end-stop. The punctuation imposes its limits on
any short-lived suggestion of freedom. Through this, Blake also accentuates the inimical effects of misuse of
power; through showing the extent to which it constricts everything. This allows the reader to envisage the
extent of control oppressive power had. Blake reveals the evidence for the loss of liberty; and how liberty
was merely a prerogative of the aristocrats during this period. It suggests how every chartered down is an
aristocratical monopoly of itself; layout of London now reflects the imbalance of power, and this is true
because the aristocrats had become more oppressive due to their trepidation post French Revolution Hence
Blake indirectly criticizes the government’s fear through showing its effects.
