What is Realism? Can you look for its
characteristics?
The Realist movement is descriptive and
more oriented towards the bourgeois
class, almost limiting its topics to it.
The ideals of the bourgeois class are
reflected in the Spanish Realism
literature: individualism, materialism,
desire for social advancement and
appreciation of the day-to-day and the
immutable.
The main characteristics of the Spanish
Realism literature are:
 Objective views of reality through the
study of customs of psychological
character. Any subjective element is

and emotion that derives from

3.  reality.
 Defense of a thesis: each narrator write
his works from his own moral point of
view, even though it may compromise
the objectivity of the narrative. This is
called omniscient narrator.
 Issues which are close to the reader: like
conflicts in marriage, infidelity, defense of
one's ideals...
 Use of colloquial language: the language
spoken by the characters has to be as
similar as possible to the language they
might use in real life, so as not to detract
from the veracity of the novel.
