Most of the writers in sturm und drang period were born in civil families and were representatives of the emerging civil class. These young intellectuals of the citizen class expressed their dissatisfaction with unrestrained enthusiasm. They opposed social class prejudice and the "unnatural" lifestyle in feudal society. They resist the shackles of society, morality and aesthetics. The way of resistance is to expose society by expressing personal feelings, thus arousing readers' voices.
The writers in Stourm Delong's period expressed their feelings from perceptual knowledge, so their writings are strongly infectious and mainly based on perceptual experience. They opposed the abstract moral concept of the Enlightenment authors, and they thought it was a useless burden (nutzloser Zwang). This abstract moral concept can be realized through mass education, which destroys the uniqueness of individuals.
Writers in the period of "sturm und drang" believe that the development of both individuals and nations should have the same value as the growth of living things, which is an ideal natural state.
All the writers in Stourm Delong's period have a distinct political color. They resisted authority, the abuse of nobility and theocracy, and demanded human rights, social freedom and equality. Most of their works reflect the social reality at that time, describing the conflict between the citizen class and the feudal aristocracy, and the sincere love of young people. In style, most of their works are sincere and enthusiastic, but they are also mixed with strong sentimental colors.
