Romantics encouraged the innate, thus creating an atmosphere of creativity,imagination,individuality and a love for nature. In the words of early century poet William Wordworth "an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things". expresses a thought provoking glance into the beauty that nature has bestowed upon us.
The emotion grabbing movement of Romanticism also depicted mysterious, romantic disillusionment and unreal works of art that made Gothic romance popular. As such, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was written with an emotional undertone that allows the reader to see through the eyes of “the monster”, seeking empathy and questioning whether he (the monster) was even a monster at all?
