Dark romanticism
I think that I fall under the category of dark romantics. The reason why I think that is because I seriously don’t think that everyone is 100% good just for the fact that there are so many people in Jail and prison for doing something wrong. I also believe in original sin. The reason for that is because the things we go thru today we probably wouldn’t if it hadn’t had been for Adam and Eve. I mean everyone is not evil but everyone is not good either.
In the story the Masque of Red Death I couldn’t really follow because of the words that I didn’t really know, other than that I got it very well. The story was about a Prince who had hung a few people, I don’t know why though, and afterwards he celebrated with a lot of people in his castle. He hired dancers, music, and etc. He had seven rooms. Each of different colors but one was a scary black color that most people were scared to even set foot in. The black room had a clock that mad a scary sound every hour that stopped everyone in their tracks for a couple of seconds or more.
All of a sudden a man with a red cloche came into the room and everyone gave him attention instead of the prince so the prince got mad and told his people to get him and hang him. But the people were too scared to get him so he did it his self. The man in the cloche walked in every room as the prince followed him with his sword. Then all of a sudden the man turned around and when he did the prince dropped his sword so the man killed him with it. Then one by one the man in the red cloche killed everyone in the castle.
In this story there is a lot that makes you realize that the transcends were wrong about everyone being 100% good. The man in this story was certainly not good at all.
I never really thought that I would like a poem as much as I liked this one. I mean I didn’t really get it at first but once it was explained to me it became clear. In each stanza it became more exciting. It was like it got more intense as he wrote. It seemed like that really happened to him.
I think that this poem is anti-transcendental because the transcendentalists felt that people’s intuition was always right because God was the one telling them that, but that was so different from what the dark romanticisms thought. They thought that everyone’s intuition was their own because sometimes it could lead to the wrong thing or it could make you do bad things. It seems like Transcendentalists wanted to see the good in all people, but the dark romanticist wanted them to see that not everyone was good but some are.
