Whenever we are reading drama or poetry it is important to be clear on what the historical context is for a number of reasons such as finding valid explanations or interpretations and placing ourselves in the general trends of the specific period. History shapes the direcction of every piece of literature since it involves society and cutural behaviour, thus by understanding and connecting ourselves to the historical context we can find the answers that may arise from the drama or poetry that is being studied. Moreover, we need some definitions of the environment and the age when the literature takes place since lacking of the understanding of these elements finding a relationship between society and the liteture would be extremely complicated.
