In "The Chimney Sweeper" from Songs of Experience, the shift occurs when the speaker blames society for the exploitation and suffering of the young chimney sweepers, contrasting with the passive acceptance of their situation in the Songs of Innocence version. This shift highlights the speaker's anger and criticism towards a corrupt system that allows such injustices to persist.
