Romantic Period

Step 1
1.
Gothic
This period was mainly just imagination. There was the Lure of Gothic. Horace Walpole buit a mansion as we see today called the "Little Gothick Castle". This was idelized back then as we in the U.S. idelize the White House. In 1764 Walpole built another Gothic Ruin and filled it with monsters. His novel "The Castle of Otranto" used ghosts and living statues in a forest to illistrate a royal family's fall. He was one of the best known Gothic writters of this time.

Tyranny of Laissez Faire
So....I guess this is when the Government started to become corrupt. Nice little villages had these townspeople to hand make all of there goods. Hand made wheels, baskets, pottery, etc. Life was all fine and dandy as you would say. Now the government pops up and makes all of these factories to make all the goods. Hince the Industrial Revolution. This put all of the working people out of jobs. Eventually they would go to the big rich guys to find a job that put them out of business. They didnt get paid good at all because all of their work was not valuble to them. They had all of the big equipment to do all of the major work.

To me they seemed to have a hard life back then. The poet's had alot to write about, but despite it all, it just seemed tough. With the industrial revolution comming, it brought alot of markets in the city down. But everybody seemed busy bak then.

The Tyger By: William Blake
This seemed to point out the danger and the discription of a tiger. As well as the atrinilen of the person that saw the tiger.
And what shoulder, & what art. Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? & what dread feet?

Composed upon Westminster Bridge By: William Wordsworth
A village that is dull and ordanary. But the ordanary is the highlight of the words used in the poem. I think he's pointing out that plain dull thigs are still beautiful, and it's so true when you think about this.

And Thou Art Dead, As Young and Fair By: George Gordon
This guy was in love with this girl. No matter any aspect of life, he still loved her til the end. And when she died, he still cared. Pretty much said love will never fade, no matter the circumstances.
