Answer 1

answer : (3) romanticism

explanation: Dickinson uses Romanticism in her poem, “Hope is the thing with feathers”, to escape from the issues in her own world, to a spiritual place in nature where she finds comfort to her soul. This poem uses the metaphor of a bird, the thing with feathers, to represent the “hope” of escaping to a better life.
