Comparison of romanticism and classicism.

The work of classicism is Fonvizin’s “Minor”. There, all the heroes are clearly divided into negative / positive ones. The purpose of the work is to show a worthy person, to expose the vices of low, stupid people. The works of classicism do not describe deep feelings, friendship, love. This is a rather primitive plot, where good wins, and evil is left with nothing.

The formula of romanticism is an atypical hero in an atypical situation. The romantic hero is an interesting deep personality that no one understands. She most often has a tragic fate. This is a person who is capable of deeply and sincerely love. Very often landscapes play an important role in romantic works, because they help to understand the feelings of the hero.
