question 7
how was the romantics conception of a hero different from the epic hero?

• they believed doctors were the true heroes.
• they believed artists were the true heroes
• they believed heroism came from physical beauty

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option about doctors being true heroes is incorrect as Romanticism's hero concept isn't centered on doctors.
• The second option: Romanticism emphasized the role of artists (poets, painters, etc.) as heroes, valuing their creativity, emotion, and individual expression, which differs from epic heroes (often warriors/leaders in grand adventures).
• The third option is incorrect as heroism in Romanticism was about inner emotion, creativity, and individualism, not physical beauty.

Answer:

B. they believed artists were the true heroes
