Probably the most common way to create a romantic hero is through typification - that is, traits that any romantic hero can have. This original character manages to stand out from all the others.
Also, the character of the romantic hero differs from others in its inner strength, integrity, focus on the life idea, passion for struggle. The main thing in such a character is the boundless love of freedom, in the name of which the hero is able to challenge even the whole world.
The romantic character is built in contrast to ordinary, philistine characters, and necessarily comes into conflict with them. Romantic hero often very lonely. He alone enters into the struggle for freedom, love, the Motherland, and in most cases carries others along with him.
The romantic character corresponds to exceptional circumstances in which it is fully revealed. IN given character Psychologism is used as a means of deepening into the inner world of the hero.
Many writers quite often use landscape as a means of characterizing the hero.
The sea is the favorite landscape of romantics. And the language of romantic works is unusually rich and varied; it most often uses bright tropes - words with a figurative meaning.
The romantic hero is a very strong personality, who in almost all cases is a winner, a rescuer, in a word, a hero.

ROMANTICISM IN RUSSIAN LITERATURE. Three types of romantic hero.
Romanticism is a movement in literature artistic type creativity, a characteristic feature of which is the display and reproduction of life outside the real-specific connections of a person with the surrounding reality.
The emergence of romanticism. Romanticism arose at the end of the 18th century. The birthplace of romanticism is Germany, the emergence of aesthetics gave the world a number of philosophers: F. Schelling, Fichte, Kant. German romanticism had decisive influence for all types of art: ballet, painting, literature, gardening art. Many romantics were linguists; they were interested in language as an expression of the spirit of the nation, an expression of thoughts and feelings. Romanticism describes a bright, exceptional plot, sublime passions, feelings, love intrigue.
Romanticism has its own way of typification. These are exceptional characters in exceptional circumstances. Romantics portray human qualities on departure from the ordinary. Since the birth of romanticism, telepathy and parapsychology have been resurrected. The birth of romanticism is a crisis of rational aesthetics. A new typology of hero is emerging. These types have become eternal. .
The first type of hero. 1 . The hero is a wanderer, a fugitive, a wanderer (he was created by Byron, he was in Pushkin (Aleko), .. Wandering is not geographical, but spiritual, internal migration, the search for the unknown. The search for the highest truth. Wandering is a metaphor for striving into the unknown, an eternal search, longing for the infinite, this longing leads to alienation from society, opposition to others, the world, and God.
This type of hero gave birth to eternal images. Image of the sea...(restlessness, tossing...)
Image of the road...
Don Quixote is a wanderer who is always looking and cannot find.
The image of a disappearing horizon.
The second type of hero is a strange eccentric, a dreamer, out of this world. He is characterized by childish naivety, worldly inability, on earth he is not at home, but visiting. (Odoevsky “Town in a snuffbox”, Pogorelsky, Dostoevsky).
The third type of hero The hero is an artist, a poet with a capital letter. An artist is not only a profession, but a state of mind. Creativity among romantics, who is the main creator? - God. Romantics call him a cosmic artist; for them, poetry is a revelation. They decided that the creation of the world was not completed, and the poet should continue the work of the Creator. They raised the poet to such a height... And gave rise to symbolism.
Visions, hallucinations, dreams gave rise to creativity. Romantics created a biography of Raphael. Zhukovsky's article about how he painted the Madonna painting. “He languished with this image for a long time, but it did not work out on canvas. Raphael fell asleep and had a vision. He saw this image, woke up and wrote. The poet is a spiritual ascetic.

Romanticism (1790-1830) is a trend in world culture that emerged as a result of the crisis of the Age of Enlightenment and its philosophical concept “Tabula rasa”, which translated means “ Blank sheet" According to this teaching, a person is born neutral, pure and empty, like a white sheet of paper. This means that if you engage in his education, you can raise an ideal member of society. But the flimsy logical structure collapsed when it came into contact with the realities of life: bloody Napoleonic Wars, French revolution 1789 and other social upheavals destroyed people's faith in the healing powers of the Enlightenment. During the war, education and culture did not play a role: bullets and sabers still spared no one. Powerful of the world this they studied diligently and had access to all famous works art, but this did not prevent them from sending their subjects to death, did not prevent them from cheating and cunning, did not prevent them from indulging in those sweet vices that from time immemorial have corrupted humanity, regardless of who and how they are educated. No one stopped the bloodshed, preachers, teachers and Robinson Crusoe with their blessed work and “God’s help” did not help anyone.
People are disappointed and tired of social instability. The next generation was “born old.” “Young people found use for their idle powers in desperation.”- as Alfred de Musset, the author who wrote the most brilliant romantic novel, Confessions of a Son of the Century, wrote. State young man He described his time as follows: “Denial of everything heavenly and everything earthly, if you like, hopelessness”. Society has become imbued with world grief, and the main postulates of romanticism are a consequence of this mood.
The word "romanticism" comes from the Spanish musical term "romance" (a piece of music).
Main features of romanticism
Romanticism is usually characterized by listing its main characteristics:
— Romantic dual world- This is a sharp contrast between ideal and reality. Real world cruel and boring, and the ideal is a refuge from the hardships and abominations of life. A textbook example of romanticism in painting: Friedrich’s painting “Two Contemplating the Moon.” The eyes of the heroes are directed towards the ideal, but the black hooked roots of life do not seem to let them go.
— Idealism– this is the presentation of maximum spiritual demands on oneself and on reality. Example: Shelley's poetry, where the grotesque pathos of youth is the main message.
— Infantilism– this is an inability to bear responsibility, frivolity. Example: the image of Pechorin: the hero does not know how to calculate the consequences of his actions, he easily injures himself and others.
— Fatalism (evil fate)- This tragic character relationship between man and evil fate. Example: " Bronze Horseman"Pushkin, where the hero is pursued by evil fate, having taken away his beloved, and with her all hopes for the future.
— Many borrowings from the Baroque era: irrationality (fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, stories of Hoffmann), fatalism, dark aesthetic(mystical stories by Edgar Allan Poe), fight against God (Lermontov, poem “Mtsyri”).
— Cult of individualism– the clash between personality and society is the main conflict in romantic works (Byron, “Childe Harold”: the hero contrasts his individuality with an inert and boring society, setting off on an endless journey).
Characteristics of a Romantic Hero
- Disappointment (Pushkin “Onegin”)
- Nonconformism (rejected existing value systems, did not accept hierarchies and canons, protested against rules) –
- Shocking behavior (Lermontov “Mtsyri”)
- Intuition (Gorky “Old Woman Izergil” (the legend of Danko))
- Denial of free will (everything depends on fate) - Walter Scott "Ivanhoe"
Themes, ideas, philosophy of romanticism
The main theme in Romanticism is the exceptional hero in exceptional circumstances. For example, a highlander captive since childhood, miraculously saved and ending up in a monastery. Usually children are not taken captive in order to take them to monasteries and replenish the staff of monks; the case of Mtsyri is a unique precedent of its kind.
The philosophical basis of romanticism and the ideological and thematic core is subjective idealism, according to which the world is a product of the subject’s personal feelings. Examples of subjective idealists are Fichte, Kant. Good example subjective idealism in literature – “Confession of a son of the century” by Alfred de Musset. Throughout the entire narrative, the hero immerses the reader in subjective reality, as if he were reading Personal diary. Describing his love conflicts and complex feelings, he shows surrounding reality, but the inner world, which seems to replace the outer one.
Romanticism dispelled boredom and melancholy - typical feelings in the society of that period. The secular game of disappointment was brilliantly played out by Pushkin in the poem “Eugene Onegin.” Main character plays to the public when he imagines himself beyond the understanding of mere mortals. A fashion arose among young people to imitate the proud loner Childe Harold, the famous romantic hero from Byron's poem. Pushkin chuckles at this trend, portraying Onegin as a victim of yet another cult.
By the way, Byron became an idol and icon of romanticism. Distinguished by his eccentric behavior, the poet attracted the attention of society, and won recognition with his ostentatious eccentricities and undeniable talent. He even died in the spirit of romanticism: in internecine war in Greece. An exceptional hero in exceptional circumstances...
Active Romanticism and Passive Romanticism: What's the Difference?
Romanticism is by its nature heterogeneous. Active romanticism- this is a protest, a rebellion against that philistine, vile world that has such a detrimental effect on the individual. Representatives of active romanticism: poets Byron and Shelley. An example of active romanticism: Byron's poem "Childe Harold's Travels".
Passive romanticism– this is reconciliation with reality: embellishing reality, withdrawing into oneself, etc. Representatives of passive romanticism: writers Hoffman, Gogol, Scott, etc. An example of passive romanticism is Hoffmann's The Golden Pot.
Features of Romanticism
Ideal- this is a mystical, irrational, unacceptable expression of the world spirit, something perfect that we must strive for. The melancholy of romanticism can be called “longing for an ideal.” People crave it, but cannot receive it, otherwise what they receive will cease to be an ideal, since from an abstract idea of beauty it will turn into a real thing or a real phenomenon with errors and shortcomings.
Features of romanticism are...
- creation comes first
- psychologism: the main thing is not events, but people’s feelings.
- irony: raising oneself above reality, making fun of it.
- self-irony: this perception of the world reduces tension
Escapism is an escape from reality. Types of escapism in literature:
- fantasy (travel into fictional worlds) – Edgar Allan Poe (“The Red Mask of Death”)
- exoticism (going to an unusual area, into the culture of little-known ethnic groups) - Mikhail Lermontov (Caucasian cycle)
- history (idealization of the past) – Walter Scott (“Ivanhoe”)
- folklore (folk fiction) – Nikolai Gogol (“Evenings on a farm near Dikanka”)
Rational romanticism originated in England, which is probably explained by the unique mentality of the British. Mystical romanticism appeared precisely in Germany (the Brothers Grimm, Hoffmann, etc.), where the fantastic element is also due to the specifics of the German mentality.
Historicism- this is the principle of considering the world, social and cultural phenomena in a natural historical development.
