The REALISM movement differs from the romanticism movement in that realism... 

• Does not incorporate depictions of religion and/or God
• Is more abstract, unclear, and mysterious in its art
• Is less subjective and more straightforward in its depictions of everyday life
• Follows almost no rhyme scheme or specific structure

You might employ a VICTRIOLIC tone if...

• Someone wishes you congratulations after a victory
• Someone mistreats you and yet still wants to be your friend
• A family member passes away
• You are about to make a big-decision with long-lasting effects
