Respuesta :

Given that the plot is set in the nineteenth century, and that it is pretty realistic, I can safely conclude that the correct answer is 'realism'. The other answers don't fit, theme-wise, and the era they originated in: classicism and romanticism were before the 19th c., and postmodernism started in the 20th.

Answer:

Realism

Explanation:

Realism in writing often referred to as Literary Realism, is a style of writing in which the writer depicts the reality by portraying mundane, everyday experiences as they are in real life. It is often associated with familiar people, places, and stories, primarily about the struggle of middle and lower classes of society.

In other words, Literary realism tends to portray a story as truthfully as possible rather than dramatizing or romanticizing the contents.

Literary Relaism is sometimes referred to as Victorian style of writing or literature which started in the 19th century, some of the examples includes:

1. Adam Bede by George Eliot

2. The Crucible by Arthur Miller
