During the Romantic Era nature was used as a model for writers to base their writings as well as their beliefs of off. Nature is described through their poetry as representing the best and properly ordered aspect of things. Also, nature is the representation of sincerity, equality and perfection. In nature everything that is alive has the same and equal opportunities to strive and prosper, it is one equal balance. Nature is full of emotion, this is important because many romantic poets believed that if you can get the reader emotionally connected to the reading it makes it that much more powerful. This is a reason why nature was such a popular topic for poets during this time period. However nature is distinct from social existence.

omantic writers Mary Wollstonecraft and Felecia Dorothea Hemans take the Romantic idea of equality as the basis for their writings. In her A Vindication of the Rights of Women Mary Wollstonecraft argues that women are seen as no more than objects by man in their society, also she writes that instead of trying to challenge this ideology, women fall right into its grips and play along. Wollstonecraft begs for her readers to strive for personal liberation. On the other hand, Hemans in her writing of India Womans Death Song, writes about a Indian mother on the brink of suicide. she implies how society can be influential on a womans life in a negative way.

That is why, the two writers respond to the social restrictions placed on womens lives by traditional gender expectations clearly but differently.
