This study has the objective to discuss the theories of Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) and Heinrich von Kleist (1777-1811) about grace, dignity, beauty and sublime, comparing them in order to show the differences and the confluences of these aesthetic concepts that were developed in the classical period (with Schiller) and romantic (with Kleist).Using as a basis for the analysis of these categories the essays On Grace and Dignity (Über Anmut und Würde), by Schiller and On the Marionette Theatre (Über das Marionettentheater), by Kleist, we are showing as the aesthetic theories of the two authors reflect the tensions between Classicism and Romanticism in Germany, and how these tensions establish differences between the idea of form in Schiller and Kleist, considering that classical harmony and the dismantling of this harmony are common themes. Schiller values the maintenance of harmony and search in the art a way for men to achieve balance; Kleist, through the deconstruction of the classical model, play with form, dismantling it, turning it into a stage for the advent of the Dionysian ritual; no more serenity and harmony of Apollo that reign, but the frenzy of Dionysus, which dominates and expands in an extraordinary way. Therefore, the categories of beauty, grace and sublime acquire in Schiller and Kleist different and similar dimensions, making possible the comparison of their works. Utilizing the notes made by Friedrich Schiller about the tragedy as an instance that provides entertainment to man and freedom through moral means, we are using the plays Die Jungfrau von Orleans (Friedrich Schiller, 1801) and Penthesilea (Heinrich von Kleist, 1808) as a form of practical exemplification of how these authors used the aesthetic conceptions mentioned above for the construction of the action of his heroines, characterizing them to attend these aesthetic assumptions
