The Romantic movement emerged as a reaction to the rationalist view of the world during the Enlightenment period. It rejected the influence of Antiquity and instead turned to the Middle Ages and Gothic style. Romantics saw the world as chaotic and disordered in the late 19th century, and they rejected the ideas of freedom and equality brought about by the French Revolution.The Romantic hero is an individual who is at odds with societal norms and often experiences unrequited love. They long to be independent and free from moral and social conventions. They are typically lonely and their lives end tragically. The hero is often depicted as being identical to the author of the work.Romanticism emphasized poetry and folk literature, with the goal of capturing the emotions and experiences of everyday life. Authors collected and retold stories from the common people, which became popular themes in their works.
