What are the differences and similarities between classicism and romanticism?

Classicism and romanticism have few similarities. Romanticism, in fact, opposed itself to classicism. In classicism, the main thing was the mind, the ideas of man, the duty to the state. The aesthetics of romanticism highlighted the personality. In the conflict between the individual and society, romanticism gave preference to the individual, while in classicism the hero’s personal feelings and experiences were subordinated to the idea of serving the state and society. The romantic hero is a bright personality. The hero of classicism is a schematic exponent of abstract ideas.
