role in the story because it set the
mood which reflects to the
character’s playing in the scene
and as the part of the story.

HISTORICAL APPROACH
 Sees literature as both reflection
and product of the times and
circumstances in which it is
written.
 It mirrors the happenings of the
past and makes up history
 throughout the years.
 It gives the reader’s to understand
the text better using it’s history
background.

was written including facts about the
authors’ life and the historical
circumstances of the time.
