Answer 3

Realism portrays the world and humans exactly as they are. Its aim is the truthful treatment of the subject. Realism is more concerned with literary and technique than naturalism is. Realism acknowledges the darker side of humanity but isn't nearly as focused on it as naturalism is. Naturalism tends to have a rather bleak and pessimistic view of the human condition. Naturalism was born from realism. Naturalism also seeks to portray the world and humans as they are. Naturalists view humans in a very objective way. They are very concerned with the underlying forces behind one's behavior and believe that one's environment and heredity shape a person's character.
