    The objective of this paper is to examine the impact of the Romantic era on the development of the Hamley family and the effect of the surrounding environment on Osborne and Roger. We argue that, despite being a Victorian novel, in Wives and Daughters (1986), Elizabeth Gaskell tries to distinguish the characters in harmony with the Romantic elements. In order to fill the gap, literary movements, including Early Fiction, Victorianism, and Feminism are not the primary concern of this paper. Our findings indicate that the Squire is a conservative figure, who yearns to return to the traditional ways of life that is akin to the conservative Early Romantics. Since the Squire detests the society, he retreats to Nature. Squire allows his feelings to overcome his mind and reason. Likewise, Osborne’s talent in poetry portrays the younger generation of Romantic movement. The Romantics revolt against the conventional laws and materialism. Osborne, seeking solitude and individualism, rebels against the materialism of his father. Osborne’s death implies juvenile spirit of Romanticism. Unlike Romantic Osborne, Roger, as a scientist, is realistic. Through Osborne and Roger, Gaskell reflects the disappearance of Romantic poetry and its substitution with scientific thinking and Realism during the Victorian Era.
