James I, who ruled during Shakespeare's time, believed in the supernatural, so Shakespeare may have incorporated more gothic themes knowing it would appeal to the king and audience. Other notable gothic authors mentioned include Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe, the Brontë sisters, and Bram Stoker.

While most early Romanticists were men, some women also wrote Romantic works. Feminine Romanticism valued domestic life over radical social change and suggested a balanced system with both maternal and paternal influences was needed.

Mathematics power point 2012 13
Mathematics is the study of patterns and relationships between numbers and shapes. While empirical evidence may be gathered, mathematical knowledge requires rigorous deductive proof based on agreed upon axioms and theorems. However, Gödel's incompleteness theorem showed that the axiomatic foundations of mathematics cannot be proven with absolute certainty from within the system.

Overall, mathematics relies on both deductive and empirical reasoning but cannot claim absolute certainty due its axiomatic foundations.
