Roamnticism was a movement that focused mostly on the expression of strong emotions. The main character in Turgenev's "First Love," is a young man name Vladmir who falls in love with the "girl next door." Definition-wise ramanticism has nothing to do with being romantic; however, Vladmir constantly felt strong emotions whenever he was around his love Zinaida. Throughout the story Vladmir's feelings for Zinaida continued to grow and so tdid the admiration that he felt for his father.
During the course of the story Vladmir constantly mentions the strong sense of admiration that he has for his father even though his father chose a passionate love with Zinaida over his wife, Vladmir's mother. However, even upon discovering the truth about Zinaida and his father, Vladmir's admiration and strong feelings for both of them only seems to grow stronger the entire time. These strongly expressed emotions are powerful romatic elements within Turgenev's "First Love."
