Summary/Abstract: The research centers on 19th-century Romanian literature, excluding Junimea, and specifically explores the prominent characteristics of characters based on their biological age. It reveals that a majority of the protagonists are young, emphasizing the fleeting nature of youth as a romantic period, with a noticeable aversion towards old age, particularly from male characters, especially when it concerns female characters. Additionally, the study endeavors to portray both the recurring literary stereotypes and the instances of bravery found within the literature of that era.
