answer with examples.

American Romanticism

Unit Objectives

Students will be able to understand that romantic literature is a journey

away from the corruption of society and the limits of rational thought

toward the integrity of nature and the freedom of the imagination.

American Romanticism broke into two separate journeys: an exploration

of the past and of exotic or supernatural realms and the contemplation of

the natural world. It introduced a hero completely different than all

previous heroes – he was youthful, innocent, intuitive, close to nature

and uneasy with women.

Essential Questions:

How does American Romantic literature reflect, clarify, and criticize the time it

portrays?

How do the selections express the shared qualities of the beliefs and cultures

of the time period?

How does Romantic literature differ from Early American literature?

Satire blends humor with criticism for the

purpose of instruction or the improvement of humanity

Through humor, expose the folly of man and bring about change (improvement)

The necessary ingredients

Humor

Criticism, either general criticism of humanity or human nature or specific criticism of an individual or group.

Some kind of moral voice: simply mocking or criticism is not “satire.”

The Satiric Manner

Irony

Either good natured criticism or bitterly cynical denunciation

Always opposed to pretense, affectation, and hypocrisy

Some tools of the satirist

Direct satire Understatement/overstatement Hyperbole Irony

Indirect Satire Parody Caricature Exaggeration/Diminutization Utopianism Dystopianism

Parody = a work of literature that mimics another work of literature,

usually as a way of criticizing it.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail Austin Powers Scary Movie/Epic Movie Gulliver’s Travels Don Quixote

Caricature = An exaggerated portrayal of the weaknesses, frailties, or humorous aspects of an individual or group.

Caricatures of the presidential candidates by Saturday Night Live cast members in ‘03 year actually changed the way that the candidates performed in public.

Exaggeration = The portrayal of something trivial or unimportant as very important, usually to emphasize its triviality.

Diminutization = the portrayal of something perceived as important as something trivial/unimportant to show its unimportance.

** “Zoolander” and the “fashion world”** Weird Al’s “Amish Paradise”** “A Modest Proposal” (Johnathan Swift)

Utopianism = A criticism of the status quo through comparison with a superior kind of society that highlights the weaknesses of one’s own.

Dystopianism = A criticism of certain aspects of society through comparison to an inferior society that adopts some of these aspects.

- George Orwell’s 1984- Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World- Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451

* Both Dystopianism and Utopianism use contrast to make point.
