Period 2

• Romantic Period (1785-1830)
• Romantic Poetry: poetry is dominated by idealism
(the woman is as beautiful as nature)

• Although one may not be the conventional or idealized beautiful woman of that time in that she is more dark rather than light, there is simple beauty in the balance of outward appearance and inner beauty and dark in light.

• Thesis: Lord Byron heavily stresses balance between nature and beauty and opposites in heavy literature devices that conveys what makes a woman beautiful.
• Topic Sentence 1: Lord Byron stresses the ideas of outer and inner beauty through contrasts of light and dark in order to convey beauty in balance between opposites
• Topic Sentence 2: Through metaphors of nature to the woman’s beauty, Lord Byron emphasizes on the balance between the two, opposing the conventional idea of a beautiful woman during the
Romantic period.
