“The Romantic Era” is the first unit in this course that has featured literature in prose form (novels). Today, fiction is the m
ost popular form of literature, and romantic poetry especially is said to appeal to a broader audience than the poetry of earlier eras. As a reader, do you feel this is true? How accessible do you find the literature of the romantic era? Which texts were more accessible than others? What about these texts made them easier to comprehend and/or enjoy?
The first one is your opinion. the second ones answer is: easily, because you can find them in libraries. The third is: Romeo and Juliet and many other Shakespeare poems. The fourth is opinionated also.
As a reader, I believe that fiction is currently the most popular and accessible form of literature. This is because fiction has the power to trap the reader in a story with different events and situations, which leaves readers impressed and curious about the consequences that these events will cause, as well as being curious about the conclusion of the facts and the arrest of the characters. In addition, fiction is a type of literature that is easier to understand, since it does not have as many allegories and symbolism as the texts of the romantic era.
Because of this popularity, fiction is much more accessible than literature from the romantic era. Literature from the romantic era is found more easily in libraries than in bookstores, since fiction manages to sell more copies. In addition, it is easier to find poetry from the romantic era than prose, even though poetry is more difficult to understand.
