Is John Locke a Romanticist?

John Locke had a lot of stuff happen to him, he went from foster home to foster home, and never met his actual parents. Until one fateful day, he met his mother when he was at work, and eventually met his father. John found out his dad needed a transplant, so John donated his kidney. He ended up on an island, lost. He had innocence before he met his father; he got all messed up after his father conned him to give him his kidney, then just left him in the hospital and never talked to him again. He has an extensive amount of inner experience after all of this has happened, which helps his intuition. His intuition is to follow many signs of nature, to feel what is going on around him, listen to his dreams, and his emotions causing him to travel the island. This really shows when he says; “The Island will tell us what to do”. His inspiration from nature causes him to follow all of his feelings and follow his intuition. He is imaginative when he thinks of ways and machines to open the hatch that he and Boon find. John Locke has all but one characteristic of a Romanticist. This proves he is a Romanticist.
