Romantic works often feature figures isolated from society but sure about the worth of their inner lives, and what is right and wrong (morality). Romanticism also stressed individualism, the belief that each person is unique. Many romantics rebelled against middleclass conventions.

The exotic, unfamiliar, and extreme attracted romantics, as is seen in Gothic literature such as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and the works of Edgar Allen Poe. (pages 605–607) Romanticism (cont.) Romantics viewed poetry as the direct expression of the soul. Romantic poetry gave expression to a vital part of romanticism, the love of nature. This is clearly seen in the poetry of William Wordsworth. The worship of nature caused romantics to criticize the new science, which they believed reduced nature to a cold object of mathematical study that had no room for imagination or human soul.

In Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein’s monster symbolized the danger of science’s attempt to conquer nature. Romantics feared that industrialization would alienate people from their inner selves and the natural world. Romantic artists shared two basic beliefs: - art reflects the artist’s inner soul - art should abandon classical reason for warmth and emotion Eugène Delacroix was the most famous romantic painter in France. Romanticism (cont.) To many, music was the most romantic art because it probed so deeply into human emotions. Ludwig van Beethoven was one of the greatest composers of all time. While his early work was more classical, his later music, beginning with his Third Symphony, embodied the drama and power of romanticism. He felt music had to reflect deep feeling.

We will read “Hop-Frog,” by Edgar Allen Poe. You may read it aloud in a group (with designated readers), or you may read it individually. Answer the following questions as you go, in your notes: 1. How did Hop-Frog get his name? 2. Why did Hop-Frog take the wine from the King? 3. Why did Hop-Frog do what he did at the end of the story? Finally, you will explain how “Hop-Frog” exemplifies (is an example of) Romantic ideas. You can “explain” it in one of three ways: 1. With written words (two paragraph minimum) 2. With spoken words (first write an outline and then use your personal device to record yourself explaining it; it should be 30-45 seconds long, and you’ll email it to me at [email protected]; you also need to hand in your outline) 3. With an illustration (on copy paper; ink/pencil is your choice); make sure to include a caption to explain how your picture meets the requirements! You will have 20-25 minutes in class to compose your submission. >Working under time constraints is a skill worth practicing! You are graded for quality and completion of your explanation (20 pts).
