Dark Romantilism

1.I am closer to transcendentalist because they see things in a better way. They believe that every one was pure and had a little peace of god in them, but the dark romantics are more into death and a more darker side.

2. The Masque of the Red Death was about a evil disease that spreaded through a country and killed massive amounts of the people. The the prince tries to save the few who didn't die in side his castle. It turns out that he was killing everyone that he ends up saving because of his evil thoughts. The dark romantics disagree with the transcendentalist because they didn't think that everyone was pure and had a little bit of god in them. They thought that if god was living through people then why do people have evil thoughts and do evil things.
"Now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had came like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped the revellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall. This saying that the red death was acknowledged by the prince. He started to kill everyone in the party feeling like he was the Red Death.

3.This poem is talking about the raven it is the bird of death I guess thats what this poem is trying to say. Its the opposite of transcendentalist because its talking more and more about death and not anything about god living through people. This poem is also using imagination which the transcendentalist don't because they use there intution."That I scarce was sure I heard you"--here I opened wide the door--Darkness there and nothing more". This qoute is saying that death is upon him and he can see it but doesn't know what it is at the point.
