The Anti-Transcendentalist or Dark romantics were people who believed in original sin, which means that everyone is a sinner because of what Adam and Eve did. They also thought that it was the cause of the evil inside of everyone. Dark Romantics believed that there was evil inside of everyone. The Transcendentalist on the hand thought other hand; didn’t believe in original sin. They believed that god could talk to people through other peoples mind, and everyone was generally good.
I think that every animal or mammal isn’t all ways good. There is always going to be something wrong with a person. Or they have done something bad they don’t have to be a bad person in general just anything.
That little voice could possibly be god. I don’t know I think it’s your inner conscience which is controlled by god I guess.
I think I would fall under being a dark romanticist. Judging by myself I know for a fact that a lot of people are evil so everyone can’t be good. A person can have goodness in them though. But I don’t think Adam and Eve are the cause of it though. If’s that’s the case then how would you explain this: A man is on the brink of losing his mind because taxes are still rising, lost his job and can’t support his family what you think is going to happen? He will either do something about it or ask for help, and when you can’t get help you are forced to do some things on your own which includes robbing.
There was always something bothering him about the death of Pluto and the burning of his house. That he thought he could replace his losses so he tried to replace the cat. Every thing was good until he started having these feelings and thoughts turn up. So he decided to kill the cat and ended up killing his wife with no remorse. ‘I aimed a blow at the animal which, of course, would have proved instantly fatal had it descended as I wished. But this blow was arrested by the hand of my wife. Goaded, by the interference, into a rage more than demoniacal, I withdrew my arm from her grasp and buried the axe in her brain. She fell dead upon the spot, without a groan’. Perfect example of why people aren’t 100% good. 'The corpse, already greatly decayed and clotted with gore, stood erect before the eyes of the spectators. Upon its head, with red extended mouth and solitary eye of fire, sat the hideous beast whose craft had seduced me into murder, and whose informing voice had consigned me to the hangman. I had walled the monster up within the tomb'.
Deep into that darkness pearing, I wondered. This really stuck out to me because i could only wonder whether he was talking about dying or not.
"Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!" I shrieked, upstarting--"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul has spoken!Leave my loneliness unbroken!--quit the bust above my door!Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
This whole Paragrah I think he was telling the bird to release him of all the pain he was feeling from lenores death. How her death made him miserable. but the bird was telling him to just move on, and try to let it go.

You are off to a pretty good start, but you still need to explain how these examples are arguments against Transcendentalism. You should leave me another comment once you have made some additions.
