Romanticism is a movement in the arts and literature that originated in the late 18th century, emphasizing inspiration, subjectivity, and the primacy of the individual. This particular movement focused on imagination and the interpretation of imagination by the individual.

First of all, the Romanticism Period is all about the ideas of nature, beauty, fantasy, and love, not necessarily having to do with a boy and a girl. As for Realism behind all the weird and beautiful ideas to live happily ever after, the people realized the problems were not fixed with the Civil War. Therefore, the people started to convert into Realism seeing the world focusing on details, facts, and the people. The two periods follow each other because the time the world came to a revolution which the people know till this day. Such as William Cullen Bryant, who was a Romantic writer of “To a Waterfowl” and believed, creating a natural scene to teach a lesson. “Thou’rt gone, the abyss of heaven hath swallowed up thy form; yet, on my heart,” (Bryant) which the critics have suggested, “a more universal image to help in conveying his theme of the poem by blending the scenes from his reflection.”(Philip) Leaving a clear view of something floating over things and vanishing through the horizon. Other Romantic writer is Edgar Allan Poe, which wrote “Annabel Lee” a poem about his love one that passed away.

This preoccupation with adolescence is a fascination of Dick’s, however, and he constantly searches for women who possess this characteristic. Fitzgerald describes characters such as Rosemary and Nicole with a sense of vitality and liveliness using words such as “burst… [,] bright… [,] Strong… [,] hovered” (6) to further portray the attraction to youth, while he depicts Dick using diction that is more stable and secure such as “hard [and]…conventional” (28). This slight difference in diction when describing those who are older increases the appeal of the novel’s younger characters. In less direct ways, Fitzgerald is also concerned with the ideas of innocence and infancy. Fitzgerald frequently describes characters as acting childish.
