Romanticism

Romanticism was an artistic movement that was popular in Europe and American in the 19th century. I think that a lot of people may think that romanticism is about Romantic love, but it's not. Romanticism deals with emotions and imagination. These two things are stuff that can rule a person. Romanticists thought that reason isn't the right way towards truth. Another factor of romanticism is imagination. The romanticists thought taht imagination was the key towards their inner world. This goes and relates back to reason, and it not being the right way to truth. To the romanticists, they thought the best way to interpret things was through their immagination. I think that when comparing romanticism to the age of reason era, romanticism had more individual freedom. I mean people were allowed to use their imagination. It is just like when mrs. clinch gave us the M&Ms, we were allowed to use our imagination as to what we would create with them. Everyone had a different idea as to what they would create with them.
