Synthesis
Question
The thinkers of the
Romantic Era were secular from religion by their style of architecture and
literary works. The stories and poems written by Romantic writers and poets
were heavily influenced by imagination rather than biblical references. The
gothic style added a dim secular sector to the reader’s mind. Gothic stories
contained mystical feelings that caused the reader’s to feel eerie and dim. The
paintings from the Romantic Era were mainly consisted of nature and the
peaceful landscapes where poets and Romanticists could escape into their
imaginative realm. Gothic style seemed rebellious and wild rather than the
sophisticated religious style. Chopin, a Gothic music writer composed the
Funeral March. The grim and menacing topic touched areas which are normally frowned
up on in many societies. Religious hymns praised and tuned in harmony, where
gothic music caused people to feel depressed or even teary.
Good job introducing romanticism and the contrasting Gothic style of the era. However, we would like to see more depth in your analysis of Romanticism and explain further why Gothic style was popular when it “caused people to feel depressed or even teary.” Your group could also give an example of a famous story, poem or painting that depicted the era of Romanticism. Also, your group strays from the original prompt by writing more about the Gothic style than Romanticism. Overall, your synthesis was nicely organized, but could be greatly improved with examples regarding Romanticism and further insights that address the prompt.
