What is the main theme of the Romantic Movement in literature?

Nature
Secularism
Industrialization
Patriotism

The correct answer is: Nature

The main theme of the Romantic Movement in literature was focused on the natural world and the power and beauty of nature. This movement was a response to the Industrial Revolution and the rapid urbanization that was taking place during the 18th and 19th centuries. The other options of secularism, industrialization, and patriotism do not align with the main focus of Romantic literature, which was to celebrate emotions, individualism, and the power of nature. While secularism and patriotism may have been present in some works, they were not the main themes. And while industrialization may have been referenced, it was typically portrayed as a negative force that threatened the natural world. Therefore, A Nature is the best answer that aligns with the main theme of Romantic literature.
