The correct answer is "the individual against society"

This is a theme that occurs on many occasions as romantic writers wanted to break free of the bonds of the society and live their lives based not on common sense, but on what their hearts truly want. Such a writer was Shelly, a British poet, or Nathaniel Hawthorne, an American novelist.
