During the second half of the nineteenth century, the paradigm in novel writing was no longer the Romantic 
idealism of the earlier part of the century but a new approach to character and subject matter, a school of 
thought which later came to be known as Realism. Which of the following ideas DOES NOT fit into Realism? 
 
 
Realism is a reaction against Romanticism. Realistic writers rebelled against the emotional writing of the 
Romantics and started a movement in search of a more realistic portrait of life. 
 
Realists rebelled against the exotic subject matter and exaggerated emotionalism and drama of the 
Romantic movement. 
 
Realism is exactly what it sounds to be: the attention to detail and an effort to portray the true nature of 
reality in a way that novelists had never attempted before. 
 
It was believed that the function of the novels was simply to report what happened, without any 
comment or judgment. 
 Realist works described the life of rich people in situations that arose in everyday life. 
 Gabarito Comentado. 
 
 
 7a Questão (Ref.: 211922) Pontos: 1,0 / 1,0 
Realism is a relative concept, a representation of reality which holds to a loose collection of conventions. Why 
can we say that Great Expectations is a realistic novel? 
 
 
Because the main character in the novel, Pip, lacks the capacities ordinarily expected in a protagonist and 
his decisions depend on Stela. This kind of attitude was typical of the XVIII century life. 
 
Because it deals with the reality XVIII century women had to face. As a good example, Dickens 
introduces the reader to Miss Havisham, who typifies the Victorian women. 
 
Because as a consequence of the World War I, children were abandoned in the streets of London. 
 Because with Dickens¿ inimitable energy and tragic and grotesque characters, we get in touch with a 
representation of reality which holds to a loose collection of conventions. 
 
Because it takes the readers to the most famous literary period in English literature: The Elizabethan 
Age.

completely loosened structure in both time and space, and by multiple openings rather than a closure in 
itself.
