The Influence of Romanticism on Today's World

Although Romanticism does not typically portray uplifting themes, it can use the themes it does protray (e.g. hypocracy and adultury) to open the eyes people who ignorantly take immoral actions. It can inspire such people to change their behavior and become better people, or realize how messed up society  is and try to make a difference in society themselves. Through Romanticism, Gothic Romanticism, and Southern Gothic Romanticism, authors can influence today's world and make it a better place by encouraging others to become better people.
