So far the little that I have read and understood about the topic of romanticism is very complex. I think it's going to be a challenge to understand the full meaning of it, but I'm willing to overcome any obstacles to lead that information find it's way into my mind. Romanticism sprang up either in the late 18000s or the early 1900s, and i think this period was good for the American population. I think it was good because it helped people find themselves in a non-cultural way, which isn't a bad thing. I thought this specific period was going to be about romance and maybe the mysterious answer to love. But know since I did a little of research about romanticism i see it's deeper romance and all of that stuff.

I think that Romanticism is very complicated and hard to understand. Maybe it is meant to be that way though because I think the authors and artists want to make people think about what they read and see. Im looking forward to learning more about Romanticism because from what I have read and the pictures I have seen from that time period really interest me. I think Romanticism is a really mysterious thing but because it has that quality it just makes people think deeper to figure out the meaning of what they read and see. ItLs hard to figure it all out but I think thats the point.

I think that romantisicism is really all about nature I think that it dosen't just focus in the pretty stuff but in the other bad or ugly side for me it is going to be hard to see the good of the bad.
