Romantic vs. Classic

Romantic and Classic exist on two very different ideas within literacy movements. Many new periods came about as a reaction to the previous period, and the contrasts between these periods are no different.First, to differ between the two, we will begin with their differences in how they regarded nature. The Romantics believed that nature was powerful and constantly changing. The Romantics believed that nature was a force that would never be fully understood. Unlike the Romantics the Classics believed that nature could be completely understood.Second was the differ thoughts on truth. The Romantics believed that one would only find truth through their own ideas given they highlighted the importance of individual thought. The Classics instead believed that truth existed only as a result of reason.Third, ties into scientific thought differences. The Classicists believed that man should conform to universal thought and ideas. The Romantics believed in the endless possibilities which man could change the world, and they embraced them. The Classics instead thought the importance of what has already been said and done and mastering only those ideals.
