Romanticism and/or Realism

Create an argument that focuses on how Romanticism or Realism works as a literary movement. You may choose to look at how Realism works as a counterpoint or reaction to Romanticism. You may want to work within a comparison of how the two movements differ in how they create characters or places. You may focus on a single theme/concept within Romanticism or Realism and prove how it is treated within either movement (or maybe take that single theme and compare how it is portrayed differently in Romantic works vs. Realist works). Some possible concepts for study are:
Nationhood/Nationalism
Nature
God/Religion
The Role of Science and Progress
Emotion
The Sublime
Individualism
Womens Roles
Family & Responsibility
