Question: What do you know about Romanticism!?
What interested or surprised you about Hawthorne’s “The Birthmark” and “Young Goodman Brown,” Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart”, “Annabel Lee,” and “Sonnet to Science”!? Did you in any way find yourself connected to these stories/poems!? Consider class discussions, the common messages these works convey, or their differences!. You can talk about what you liked or didn’t like!. You can talk about how Alymer is just like your boyfriend!. Please, be interesting in your response!.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Well, Birthmark is about creating perfection and trying so hard that it destroys the good things that are already there - is there someone in your life who wants you to be perfect!? do you want a certain person in your life to be perfect!?

Tell-tale Heart is about guilt and paranoia - have you ever done something and then confessed to it b/c you were sure it was written all over your face!? Is there a secret you have that is weighing you down with guilt, even if you can't reveal what it is!? How do you think you can get peace from that guilt!?

Annabel Lee is linked to childhood and comparing your current life to that unattainable good thing in your past!. Is there someone from your past you feel this way about!? (or just your childhood in general!?)
