Shelley cleverly uses nature to not only reflect the mood of her characters, but to also represent the…

German Romanticism is a movement in both the arts and literature that originated in the late 18th century. Goethe’s Erlkönig, and ETA Hoffman’s The Sandman are both German Romantic pieces of literature. The creators of each of these pieces would view Shakespeare’s Macbeth as a German Romantic play even though it predated the movement.
