What is the significance of the Candlelight Dinner?

Have you ever thought about how or why candlelight dinner became a romantic activity? If yes, then here is an answer to that. In ancient times, candlelight dinners are usual routine of daily life. But after some time, writers/poets like Shakesphere used candlelight dinners as the quiet frame of longing in their literature. The lines like:

“O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! 

It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night

Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear; 

Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!”

The Romantic Movement of the 18th century and 19th century focused on personal emotion and one’s private atmosphere. Writers referred to private meetings instead of public meetings. During this era, houses still used candles at night. As dinner progressed, the soft glow started to signal intimacy and focus.

In the late 19th century, people switched to electric lighting. People no longer looked to candles for light. By choice, they placed candles on the table. In 1902, advice from etiquette writer Emily Holt suggested that hosts avoid electric glare. Between the 1950s and 1960s, films and magazines repeated the image of a candlelight dinner as a trope of marital care.
