Rewriting Symbolism and Romanticism in Our Modern literature Formation Period

The period of our modem poetry world formation was extremely confusing. Especially, there are some people who even deny Symbolism when they describe the history of literature because the border between Symbolism and Romanticism is quite obvious. But, if we look at them more closely, we can't say that there is no order in these literary movements at all. We can say that the beginning of Romanticism resulted from the limit of Symbolism in our trends of literature. Symbolism much affected to our modem poetry world formation, however, it also had its weak points which couldn't express exactly the situation of that time and the folk emotion of that time. 'This situation brought about the request of more powerful expression of the emotion and more suitable way to express out own feelings, that's the way Symbolism got started. It's okay to use the word 'limit' and 'challenge' if there is overt comparison in these two literary movements, such as Classicism and Romanticism, but the distance between Symbolism and Romanticism is not so far. There are some dose relationships between these two literary movements in character and ideology. Therefore, we can't help thinking over again these relationships. We must not simply refer to it as 'challenge against Symbolism' which is applied to the Western literary criterion, instead, we can call it as 'the challenging connection in the trend of literature' which are more suitable to the emotion of that time. We can call this fact as our own literary characteristics in our literary movements, and at the same time, as our own tradition.
