The Romantic Era “The Age of Imagination”

Elements of a Gothic Setting Fog vampires, demonic forces Darkness Haunted houses / mansions Families with a dark past Ghosts Candlelight Graveyards / Mausoleums

Features of the Gothic Fascination with the grotesque Victimizing / Victims Mysterious, Overpowering atmosphere (suffocation, feeling of no escape) Various “tormented” figures Loneliness, terror, madness Fright at seeing one’s own ugliness Inverted or blurred morality Disturbing obsessions

Motifs Nature’s wrath and violence The dangers of unleashed passion Stifling claustrophobia Dysfunctional relationships Struggle against insanity Hidden disturbances / anxiety Fear of self-destruction Drug abuse Motifs

Gothic Period Adjectives Tempestuous Superstitious Melancholy Macabre Brooding Introspective Morbid Morose Moody Ominous

Man’s emotions, like the forces of nature, are unstoppable and destructive forces

Revolutionary Period vs. The Romantic 1) Romantics are more interested in the private self (rather than the good of the whole country) 2) Romantics are more interested in emotion and insanity (rather than logic and reason) 3) Romantics are more interested in place and land (rather than politics and industry) 4) The mood of the Romantics is insecure and fearful (rather than proud and confident)
