5. Realism vs Naturalism Similarities Differences
Both are "basic" views of life and humanity, stripping away the layers of romanticism to present a "natural" or "real" outlook of the work.
Realism sought to be a faithful representation of life, while Naturalism was more like a "chronicle of despair”. In a way, Naturalism can see as a exaggerated form of Realism.
Both of these pessimistic views came to be in a time around the 19th century, a period known for its trials and turmoil. 
While in Realism the main focus was on the middle class and its problems, Naturalism dives head first into the major drama, favoring the ill educated or low class for its characters, and violence and taboo for its themes.
God is absent from most of the writing in either category, with writers opting for a focus on the real world.
While in Realism, faithful representation of reality is important, in Naturalism, Nature itself is an indifferent force.
Opting: Make a choice from a range of possibilities
Indifferent: Having no particular interest or sympathy; unconcerned.
