Referring the two examples from the literature, "On first looking into Chapman's Homer" by John Keats and "an ode to the West Wind" by Percy Bysshe Shelley, romantic period writers were in dismay with the state of the world and the lives around them. They wanted to escape their surrounding, where they could express themselves openly and freely and discover their inner peace. Therefore, in their literary works, the protagonists searched to find the inner peace. Such works of them was about the places where they could live freely and express themselves without any hinderances. Their works were very emotional, highlighting the pain of the world.
