Hello. You did not provide all the necessary information to answer this question, but I can help you by showing you the descriptions of the terms you mentioned above.

Answer:

Enlightenment: ideological and intellectual movement that defended the use of reason in any social sector, including arts, religion, construction, economy, government, markets, among others. In short, this movement was against the old regime (very based on religious dogmas) and preached the use of reasoning and study in decision making.

Realism: Artistic and literary movement. It aimed to present works that were the opposite of individualism and subjectivity, presenting, then, works that were consistent with reality and exhibited the objectivity of real life, full of defeats and victories.

Existentialism: Philosophical doctrine that aimed to observe human beings in all their aspects and to understand their existence, their nature and how it influenced the world in which we are inserted. In short, it tried to explain the human being differently from explanations of common objects, but in a profound way and with vast meaning.

Freudian thinking: Refers to the use of psychoanalysis to try to investigate the human mind, its processes and its effects in both biological and physiological aspects. In this case, the human mind is studied taking into account emotions, feelings, impulses and thoughts.

Surrealism: Artistic and literary movement that aimed to present works that opposed the concepts defended by the rationalism and materialism of the modern world.
