Theatre of Romanticism

Theatre of Romanticism, emerging in the early 19th century, emphasizes emotion, individualism, and the sublime. It often explores intense feelings, nature’s power, and human passion, contrasting with the restraint of earlier classical theatre. Romantic theatre features dramatic plots, complex characters, and heightened language to evoke deep emotional responses. It celebrates imagination and the mysterious, often highlighting personal struggles and the individual's connection to nature or the supernatural. This movement aimed to move audiences deeply, encouraging personal reflection and emotional engagement through more expressive and often dramatic storytelling.
