What is "naturalism"?
Naturalism was a literary and artistic movement that began in the late 19th century, based on the ideas of realism, which aimed to represent life accurately and truthfully without making it seem more desirable than it is. Naturalism went beyond realism by focusing even more on showing life as it is. In literature, writers like Émile Zola and Theodore Dreiser aimed to show characters and situations with accurate, often harsh detail, emphasizing the influence of environment, family traits, and social conditions on human behavior. In art, painters like Jules Bastien-Lepage and Anders Zorn showed everyday scenes and ordinary people with a high degree of detail and accuracy, aiming to reflect the true nature of life without making it seem appealing. Naturalism aimed to show a more scientific and objective view of life, often emphasizing the harsh or dark aspects of existence.

What is "naturalism"?
Naturalism is a style of theater that aims to present a realistic and true-to-life depiction of everyday situations and characters. It focuses on portraying life as accurately as possible, with attention to detail in the set design, costumes, and dialogue to reflect the real world. The characters in this style of theater often deal with common social and personal issues, and the storylines are grounded in reality rather than fantasy or exaggeration. The goal of naturalism is to create a believable and immersive experience that mirrors the complexities and nuances of real life.
