Gothic literature, well was Gothic. It was popular around 1760 and was a very dark way to write poems/novels. Transcendental literature is about spirituality and was popular round the 1830-1860s. These are very different literature genres, being that the Gothic literature was about death, sadness, etc. and transcendental literature was about spirituality and it was light and it brought people together to discuss the different spiritual ideas. I would compare these two together by explaining how even though both of them are practically opposites from one another, they still brought so much attention in their time period. Also, not to mention both of the genres had amazing authors, like the list goes on.
The correct answer is D. Setting The setting is the time, place, and situation of a story. It is described or put forth in the introduction of a story.
