    Dark Romantics used symbols in their works to represent underlying spiritual truths that were not always positive. They believed that due to original sin, humans are inherently flawed and focused on the dark and sinful aspects of human nature. Dark Romantics saw beyond social norms to what they viewed as the blankness and horror of inner evil. They valued the individual over society but thought individuals were flawed.

    Characteristics of Dark Romanticism

    English 11 Mr. Durrett

    Dark Romantics were known to use a lot of symbol in their work like the bird in the poem
    The Raven: and the white whale in the novel Moby-Dick.

    For the Dark Romantics, spiritual facts lie behind appearances of nature. These spiritual
    facts were not always positive or friendly.

    Similar to the belief of the Puritans, the Dark Romantics thought that because of
    Original sin man is sinful and imperfect

    Dark Romantics exaggerated the sinfulness, evilness, darkness of human existence as


    the other Romantic writers we studied in class did with what was ideal.

    "Behind the pasteboard mask of social respectability, the Dark Romantics saw the
    blankness and the horror of evil.

    Authors during the Romantic period, which includes the Dark Romantics, were creating a
    new national identity through the literature.

    Dark Romantics, like Romantics, believed that the individual was more important than a
    collective or society. Like all Dark Romantic beliefs, they also thought that the individual
    was oftentimes flawed.

    Dark Romantics shun the artificiality of civilization and seek unspoiled nature.

    Dark Romantics find beauty and truth in exotic locales, the supernatural realm, and the
    inner world of the imagination.
