How did science revolution contrast with the ideas of the Gothic genre?

The Scientific Revolution emphasized reason, empirical evidence, and the systematic study of the natural world, promoting a rational understanding of reality. In contrast, the Gothic genre embraced the supernatural, emotional intensity, and the exploration of the human psyche's darker aspects, often rejecting rational explanations. While the Scientific Revolution sought to demystify the world through observation and logic, Gothic literature thrived on mystery, fear, and the unknown, creating a tension between enlightenment and the allure of the irrational. This dichotomy reflects broader cultural shifts during the period, where enlightenment ideals coexisted with romanticism and fascination with the macabre.
