Lesson 3.2: Context
What is context?

Context refers to the background or details surrounding an event that occurs in literature. Details about the setting, a character's past, or even the time period of the story can help to set the context. Understanding the context can help a reader to better understand and interpret the events of the plot.


For this task we will be focussing on "the setting" (the physical context)
