3. Romanticism Essentials
Romanticism has NOTHING to do with romantic love
Romantics respect and fear nature above all else; nature is God and will always win out over humans
Romantics believe nature is both inspiring/healing and destructive/dangerous
Romantics believe in individuality/nonconformity as a reaction to the industrial age and organized religion
Romantic characters are often isolated, alone or stand out because of some exceptional quality good or bad
Romantics believe in the inherent good in all humans and that redemption is possible
Romantics are optimists and are often overwhelmed by a sublime feeling in awe of nature
Romantics seek out nature for answers

4. Epistolary Narrative  An epistolary novel is a novel written as a series of documents. The usual form is letters, although diary entries, newspaper clippings and other documents are sometimes used.   Frame Story  A frame story (also known as a frame tale or frame narrative) is a literary technique that sometimes serves as a companion piece to a story within a story, whereby an introductory or main narrative is presented, at least in part, for the purpose of setting the stage either for a more emphasized second narrative or for a set of shorter stories. The frame story leads readers from a first story into another, smaller one (or several ones) within it.

Robert Walton’s Voyage   He seeks the most direct route as a northern passage to the Pacific Ocean; he hopes to be the first one to set foot on unchartered waters/land in the North Pole and give the world access to trade never before made possible. He also wants to find out the secret of the magnetic pull of the compass that sailors use Walton is after knowledge at the expense of his own and his crew’s lives because he seeks glory for himself.
