Prostitution may be the result of mistreatment related to cleaning chimneys. The prostitute curses the child because he cries instead of calming him down. The child is born into a society where he cannot be loved. Similar to "A Sick Rose", Blake references "Marriage Hearse" at the end of "London" (line 16). “Wedding hearse” is an oxymoronic expression because it combines death and life. The prostitute preys on marriages by engaging in prostitution. The end of the poem ties together Blake's darkest thoughts about human society. According to Blake, life in the city of “London” is sick, restricted and miserable. William Blake's "The Tyger" and William Wordsworth's "It's a Beautiful Evening, Quiet and Free" each discuss a single central idea that has nothing to do with darkness in human society. Both works explain how the conventional idea of ​​nature is a reflection of its creator. Both works also explore the idea that nature can be strikingly beautiful, yet surprisingly beautiful.
