Latin America is a region of happiness and hatred, but above all, Latin America is a place of history and change. Like many movements in history there is a rise and fall, the meaning of modernism in Latin America enhances our understanding of the humanities as it gives us a better understanding of the human experiences of the time and gives the viewer a feeling of connection with those who came before them. Among these people, two of them can be known as Rubén Darío and José Martí. The Spanish-language literary movement Modernismo (also known as Modernismo) emerged in the late 1880s. It was a form of language that has now disappeared due to changes in society. To begin with, this literary movement had a great influence on Romanticism and Symbolism, and found its influence in much admired European models (“donquijote.org”). Modernism is a movement that fought against the middle class, seeking an aristocratic improvement in content and beauty of form, changing the meter of poetry in Spanish to more closely resemble classical Latin forms (" donquijote.org"). The theme of modernism mainly focused on love, loneliness, sensuality and eroticism. It was all idealistic about the meaning of a woman. Exoticism in modern poetry is also vital and is manifested through the language used, for example flowers with exotic names like lotus or magnolia; materials such as silk and porcelain; precious stones for example jade, emeralds and rubies; names of mythological and exotic places; sayings and gallicisms; all this creates an aristocratic atmosphere ("donquijote.org"). Compared to the many influential writers of the time, Rubén Darío was and is one of the most influential writers of the century in Spain...... middle of paper ......cuba/history2.htm> ."Classicspanishbooks.com."
