How simple is Romanticism?

After awhile when righting about the period of Romanticism you ask what more can you say about it? It isn't as big of a topic as some of the others however it still contributed to this era.  In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein things as simple as the monsters reaction to the sound of  the singing birds or it's relationship to nature was a part of romanticism. Funny how while writing this I started thinking what made the monster a male and not female? We know what makes human a male or female but  what happens in this case? Anyway that's a different story but as for the early century romanticism it could be seen in almost anything if really looked for.

Romanticism ! Artistic, literary or intellectual movement ?

Romanticism was also called the (romantic era). Many argue that this eraumma was Artistic, literary or intellectual but was it really? First to give you a brief overview of this time... Romanticism originated in the second half of the 18th century in Europe, and became dominate in reaction to the Industrial Revolution. Though It may be argued that Music, art and books or literature may have externalize Romanticism and though I agree to a certain extent. I believe that we can never really say what really embodied the era of romanticism. There may be journals and movies or recordings and even text books we werent there in that time. I believe that everyones can go on the same journey but the experience for all of us will be different. Shelley explained many things through her lens and created Frankenstein in the image she wanted to portray as she did with the monster but no matter how many people read this book we will all have a different interpretaion. Artistic, literary, Intellectual? Maybe , but I'm sure thats not all of it.

Romantisism , Shamequa Durrant

Romance and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley go hand in in hand. In fact the relationship between Shelley and her husband was a perfect example of the 18th and 19th century romance.   According to http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/english/melani/cs6/rom.html  "Romanticism has very little to do with things popularly thought of as "romantic," although love may occasionally be the subject of Romantic art. Rather, it is an international artistic and philosophical movement that redefined the fundamental ways in which people in Western cultures thought about themselves and about their world." Romance seemed to be more of a political and matter of the mind than what we would think. I guess business and pleasure did work in this situation because. Percy worked along side Mary in her publishing of Frankeinstein. In Frankeinstein The monster and Victor display a pretty weird relationship we may not realize it unless this is our motive but they display each others feelings and this is romance. Chapter 11
