Document Summary
Focus on the good part of every character. Wash over any trace of human -- start over -- hope. Revolution finally reaches its peak and it is going to descend now. Period of hope for a new beginning. Growing urbanization because they need to find somewhere to live. Main is lost, abandoned in this universe, without guidance. Century of realism in both literature and creative arts. Revolt against materialism, rationalism, values of bourgeois society. Divorce, being the wives or husbands of everyone. On a path to the higher truth. Exploration of the evil, immoral, focusing on the morbid and macabre. Egoism, curiosity, perversity, artificiality = this century. Same tendencies + social and cultural upheavals. Newspaper designated columns to report political terrorism. I am artist and unique and if you don"t understand me, you are inferior and stupid. Time to throw old overboard from the steamship of modenirty. Form/sound is more important than the content of the story.
