 WHAT IS HISTORICAL
APPROACH & WHERE IS
IT USED?
 Four step in utilizing this
approach
1. Discovering the time when the poem was made, what
happened to the author in that time.
2. Analyzing at glance whether it is connected or not between
the content of the literary work.
3. Finding the clues left by the author , usually in the forms of
special terms, symbols, or figurative language which are
strongly related to the moment of the past which become the
inspiration of the literary work was being made.
4. Interpreting the literary work based on the moment
underlying the creation of it.

of data about past events.

Historical and biographical Approaches in Practice in Hamlet .

 In view of Queen Elizabeth's advanced age and poor health-hence

the precarious state of the succession to the British crown-
Shakespeare's decision to mount a production of Hamlet, with its
usurped throne and internally disordered state, comes as no surprise.
(Edward Hubler has argued that Hamlet was probably written in
1600 1912,n.21.)

MADE ME THINK OF HOW
LITERATURE CAN REFLECT
LIFE TODAY AND POSSIBLY
LIFE IN THE FUTURE; THE
HARMONY OF
INTERCONNECTED EXISTS
OUTSIDE OF SOLELY
LITERATURE.
