Nathanael’s literary style and theme of his stories were passionate romanticism and mainly dark romanticism. The spectacular author had many amazing works and so many popular books. One of his greatest works was The Scarlet Letter (1850) and Twice-Told Tales (1837). Edgar Allan Poe once said, "The style of Hawthorne is purity itself. His tone is singularly effective—wild, plaintive, thoughtful, and in full accordance with his themes... We look upon him as one of the few men of indisputable genius to whom our country has as yet given birth".
What do other characters, besides Othello think of him? Othello was one of William Shakespeare's greatest plays ever written, and arguably one of the greatest stories ever told. While having many parallels to Romeo and Juliet, another of Shakespeare's great writings, they couldn't be further apart in terms of characters. One character in particular , Iago who is the antagonist of the story plays a very important , sinister role in the lives of Othello and Desdemona. Iago who many people perceived to be an honest man when it couldn't be further from the truth and in Othello's cased it proved to be a deadly mistake for trusting him.
It is especially known for one of its greatest authors, William Shakespeare. Although his poems were good, his plays are what he is mostly remembered for; he wrote forty plays including The Two Noble Kinsmen and the two lost plays attributed to him. His plays are so special because they can be adapted into modern day situations and still make sense, thats why there can be modern versions on Macbeth and Romeo and
Aaron Copland Aaron Copland was one of the most respected American classical composers of the twentieth century. By incorporating popular forms of American music such as jazz and folk into his compositions, he created pieces both exceptional and innovative. As a spokesman for the advancement of indigenous American music, Copland made great strides in liberating it from European influence. Today, twenty two years after his death, Copland’s life and work continue to inspire many of America’s young composers, which shows the true power of his musical skill. Though Copland began writing his music in the mid 1920s it was in 1935 with “El Salón México” that Copland began his most productive and popular years.

In addition, similarly to Sonnet 18, Juliet’s words suggest that there is something eternal and everlasting about Romeo’s beautiful personality, hence the demand for him to be transformed into a star. Although Shakespeare was writing more than four hundred years ago, modern culture shows a similar idealisation of love and beauty. For example, James Blunt’s famous, best –selling song ‘You’re Beautiful’ , focuses on physical beauty, and also contains the metaphorical line’ I saw an angle’ implying that true beauty can have a spiritual dimension. So both modern culture and Shakespearean poetry share some similarities: idealising beauty in an unrealistic way

King Arthur and his heroic knights are one of the most well-known parts of these stories. In Arthurian literature, Morgan is always an important character. But she has so many faces, personalities and versions that readers can not really know what is the real and original Morgan.
Novelist Nikolai Gogol was known to his contemporaries and is regarded by the world as a pioneer in Russian literary romanticism. Gogol’s “The Nose” stands as one of his more abstruse novels and exhibits his mastery as a romanticist writer. Evidence of its fundamentally romantic style can be seen in the vivid, embellished imagery, subjective point of view, and supernatural references found throughout the work. For example, Collegiate Assessor Kovalyov turns his attention to the slim girl inside Kazan Cathedral and finds her “bent over to pray like a spring flower” and also observes that her yellow hat is “as light as pastry” (Gogol, 50). The use of similes and metaphors to describe common objects and occurrences is standard in the type of imagery unique to romanticism.
That makes the reader like the content and the poem much more. That is the reason of Whitman’s success. Today Walt Whitman is like today for his form and content in poems. This is awkward because back then he wasn’t liked, but today he is liked. That seems to be a great pattern for all the famous authors in history.
It consists of four cantos written in Spencerian Stanzas, which consists of eight iambic pentameter lines followed by one alexandrine (a twelve syllable iambic line), and rhyme pattern ABABBCBCC. The Byronic hero is the epitome of the Romantic era and the poem introduced the idea of the Byronic hero so it is safe to say that it is quite ‘Romantic’ in character. ‘Romantic’ comes from the term ‘romance’ – a prose or poetic heroic narrative which originally appeared in medieval literature. It legitimised the personal imagination as a critical force which meant that not only could poets write about everything but that ordinary people could criticise literature and poetry and have a voice. Romanticists had some connection with Utopian social thinkers who believed in an ideal ‘fair’ society.
