Answer:

Personal and spiritual exploration

Step-by-step explanation:

Romanticism was an aesthetic and cultural movement that revolutionized society in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, leaving behind classical values ​​and inaugurating modernity in the arts. Romantic works were then based on values ​​of the bourgeoisie, social class that replaced the absolutist elite in several countries.

One of the strong characteristics of this movement was the hypervaluation of spiritual exploration and personal emotions (anxieties, sorrows, passions, happiness, etc.), which presupposed a look inside the artist and his emotions, to the detriment of the rational and the enlightened objective. This exaggerated sentimentality is reflected in the plots that, in their maoria, consist of love stories or, when this is not the main motto, in stories in which love and passion prevail.
