    During one conversation between Catherine and Lt. Henry, Catherine is describing her fear of the rain then she states, "It's all nonsense. It's only nonsense. I'm not afraid of the rain. I'm not afraid of the rain. Oh, no, God, I wish I wasn't." What influence do you see here?

    • Realism

    • Romanticism

    • Existentialism

    • Modernism

    • Transcendentalism

    Correct Answer
    A. Existentialism
    Explanation
    In this conversation, Catherine expresses her fear of the rain but immediately denies it, stating that it is all nonsense and that she is not afraid. However, she then contradicts herself by expressing a wish that she wasn't afraid. This conflicting and uncertain attitude towards her fear reflects the influence of existentialism. Existentialism emphasizes individual existence, freedom, and the struggle to find meaning in an uncertain and absurd world. Catherine's internal conflict and her grappling with her fear align with the existentialist themes of individual choice, authenticity, and the search for meaning in a chaotic world.
