American gothic-dark philosophy deep awareness of grotesque characters bizarre situations violent events fantastic, demonic, insane mans capacity for evil dark side of nature
those are their definitions so good luck

Answer 2

Answer:  Gothic literature is spooky, mysterious, focuses on the supernatural, and is disturbing. Transcendental literature focuses on idealists who found truth in the natural world, while gothic literature focuses on the dark side of human nature. Transcendental literature reflects on idealism and optimism about the natural world. Both are varieties of American Romanticism that have to do with human nature.
