In literature, a sound understanding of the historical context behind a work's creation can give us a fuller appreciation of the narrative. In analyzing historical events, context can help us understand what motivated people to behave as they did. Put another way, context is what gives meaning to the details. Don't confuse context with cause. Cause is the action that creates an outcome; context is the environment in which that event occurs.
