From the Paper:

"Even though 'The Way We Were' is a modern movie it displays various aspects of Romanticism from 100 and 200 years ago, as a study of 'A Room With a View' and 'Sense and Sensibility' amply demonstrates. Many factors, such as, the concept of convention vs. passion, freedom of emotional expression, and the inevitable goodness in humanity are expressed within each of the works. Romanticism began as an artistic revolt against the concepts of classicism. The term focuses on creating a personal reaction to life that is not hindered by social restrictions. Romanticism allows a freedom of emotional expression, and spiritual awakening that leads to an uninhibited release of powerful feeling that may defy intellect and reason. Returning the world to a natural setting, Romanticism seeks to depart from the rise of industrialization."
