Themes of Dark Romanticism

Romanticists believed

You are flawed

"Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again." -Vincent Van Gogh

You are allowed to make mistakes. Knowing that you're imperfect should not keep you from trying. Everyone is prone to mistakes.

"The death of a beautiful woman, is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world." -Edgar Allan Poe

"Death is the tyrant of the imagination." -Bryan Procter

Death rules your imagination. People are obsessed with death.

Explore weird, odd, and unsettling sensations

because...

Soon we'll all be dead

Dark Romanticism took Romantic ideas and strayed away from the justification of nature and focused on emotions. It was often about sin, beauty in death, and the dark side of humanity. Dark Romanticists showed that it was OK to accept your dark side and throw away your hesitation.
