A Peasant's View of the Romantic Era

I truly enjoyed the Romantic Era. Since it was a time where people stressed individualism and rejected materialistic items, I fit right into it. I don' t have much of anything and the fact that romantics lived their life differently than the aristocracy, I feel less alone and more a part of my country. Also, I enjoy listening to music, wherever I may find music. Beethoven is my favorite. I hope one day that I will get to listen to him more than I do now, which is barely at all. I don't think that Spain, Portugal, and Italy necessarily love the Romantic Era, but they certainly don't hate it. New literature, music, and art were introduced and everyone enjoyed it. Maybe they didn't like the nature part of it , but overall, I think that Spain, Portugal, and Italy reacted well with the Romantic Era.
