As our world evolve to a more civilize period, peoples ideology of the world are also evolving, which helps structure the civilization in a certain way. Civilians slowly became more aware of life problems, as a result, they put effort to find peace through the work of art. Some people might question, How can that solve daily life issues or what does it take to better the society? Well, the Europeans had adapted the Neoclassicism and Romanticism form of art belief, in order to find the answers that they were always looking for. Neoclassicism is the principal of logically viewing life in a mathematics and rational level, especially when it comes to solving worldly issues and it’s expressed through art and literature. However, Romanticism believe in the beauty of art, faith, and rely on intense emotions for judgement. Firstly, the society took on the Neoclassicism belief, which was a harsher period due to the fact of people dealing with situations that involved excluding humanly emotions, such as, pity, fear, and pain. Then 100 years later more people decided to adapt to the Romanticism system because it seems fairer.

The Romantic period was a time of literary, artistic, and musical expression that allowed groups of academics in England to evolve into a defined movement. Romanticism is identified with ideals of love, nature, and other identities that are almost always associated with those of the Romantics.

This idea of emotion and the glorification of nature were carried out throughout the period and most authors stuck to this way of thinking and expressing.

The word romantic is mostly associated with feelings of love and intimacy. However, the Romantic Movement in literature incorporated so much more. Beginning in the late 18th Century, this period emphasized emotion, inspiration, subjectivity. visual beauty, love of nature, individualism, and spiritualism are just a few of the many topics covered in works written by Romantic authors. To be precise, many scholars say that the Romantic period began with the publication of "Lyrical Ballads" by William Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge in 1798. The volume contained some of the best-known works from these two poets including Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and Wordsworth's "Lines Written a Few Miles from Tintern Abbey." Further, it starts as a reaction against the intellectualism of the Enlightenment, against the rigidity of social structures protecting privilege, and against the materialism of an age which, in the first stirring of the Industrial Revolution, already shows signs of making workers the slaves of machinery and of creating squalid urban environments. As a result, a mood which pervades much of western life during the past two centuries is hard to define except in terms of opposites.

Romanticism " In spite of its representation of potentially diabolical and satanic powers, its historical and geographic location and its satire on extreme Calvinism, James Hogg's Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner proves to be a novel that a dramatises a crisis of identity, a theme which is very much a Romantic concern.

Miss Sophie can be related to the Platonic triad: the good, true and beautiful (Monrad, 09-26-16, sl. 11). She has been associated with the word angel multiple times as mentioned before.

Neoclassicism and romanticism were both heavily influenced in the eighteenth and nineteenth century when it came to the poetry movement. The expression “Neoclassicism” came from the fact that they were interested in reviving classical forms of art, “classical” here referring to the art of the ancient Greeks and Romans.
