Both special relativity and general relativity are fundamentally classical theories. Classically, things have positions, and locations - positions and velocities. However, classical mechanics fail at small scales. This is where quantum mechanics becomes useful.
Since the discovery of quantum mechanics, we have to take everything we know about nature and fit it into the quantum mechanical framework. Physicists can do that for almost everything they know about nature, except for gravity and curved space-time.

Similar ideas to Classical vs quantum mechanics
Theory of General and Special Relativity are both immensely well known theories that discuss gravity in some aspect or another.
The chief difference that can be made between them is the level of completeness. But what exactly does each theory talk about?
