1. Romantic Nature of the Story
Ans.: Romanticism is quite often defined as the
love for strange and unknown & the pursuit of
a beautiful story that eludes us.
The essence of the author’s romanticism lies in
representing a strange, meeting, artistically-the
unspoken words, the eloquent conversation,
the pale beauty of the girl, the light in her eyes
when she meets the author, the narrator’s
impulse to take her with him, the intense
eagerness to see her and finally the unknown
destiny of the girl- all add to the feeling of
romance.The dreamy atmosphere adds it.11/13/20209
