The romantic hero is one of the artistic images of the literature of romanticism .
Feature
A romantic is an exceptional and often mysterious person who usually resides in exceptional circumstances. The clash of external events is transferred to the inner world of the hero, in whose soul there is a struggle of contradictions . As a result of such a reproduction of character, romanticism raised extremely high the value of a person who is inexhaustible in his spiritual depths, revealing his unique inner world . A man in romantic works is also embodied with the help of contrast, antithesis : on the one hand, he is understood by the crown of creation, and on the other - by a limp toy in the hands of fate, unknown and beyond his control forces, playing with his feelings. Therefore, he often becomes a victim of his own passions. Also usually a hero of a small lyre-epic piece.
The romantic hero is lonely. He or he flees from the familiar, convenient for others world, which seems to him a prison. Or he is an exile, a criminal. In a dangerous way he is driven by a reluctance to be like everyone else, a thirst for a storm, a desire to measure strength.
For a romantic hero, freedom is more precious than life. To do this, he is capable of anything if he feels an inner truth. A romantic hero is an integral personality, in it you can always distinguish a leading character trait.
