The Dungeon is a poem which reflects the Romantic Era because, as most of them, it is a political and passionate piece.
This is a good topic for the Romantic Era because the author, with this piece, reflects the truth and shows concern about the well-being of the common man.
<u>For demonstrating the qualities of the Romantic Era I would chose these three lines</u> because Romantic Era is all about emotions and because the author, in these lines, questions himself about <em>"the innocence of the poor brother that offend us"</em> in a very sensitive and emotional way, trying to break seted standards:
Is this the only cure? Merciful God!
Each poor and natural outlet shrivell'd up / By ignorance and parching poverty
And stagnate and corrupt; till changed to poison, / They break out on him, like a loathsome plague-spot
Images of bygone summers at the river eased through her mind like a movie in slow motion.
The answers that would best complete the given statement above would be options B and D. At the beginning of the Harlem Renaissance, Alain Locke encouraged black artists to display pride in their heritage and <span>the artistic representation of African American experiences. Hope this helps.</span>
