insight in the creation of the text.

 The biographical context relates the events in the
short story to the actual experiences of the author
as this kind of reading assumes that the author’s
work is his/her/their way of revealing
himself/herself/themselves or a way of expressing
his/her/their actual experiences. To prove the
claim that the author is present in the text, one has
to read the author’s biography to see how much an
author’s experience influences the text.
 Not all short stories are related to the personal life
of the author because some authors tend to revise
the facts of their own lives, which could be
misleading should one wish to connect the
author’s life with the text. Hence, not all short
stories can be read and analyzed from a
biographical perspective.
 The historical context seeks to understand the text
based on the social, cultural, and political aspects
and occurrences of a particular time, which could
directly or indirectly shape the events in the short
story. To better understand the text from a
historical point-of-view, one has to research the
period in which the events are set and happen. By
going back to the time of the events, one can
clearly see how the story unfolded in relation to
the author's experiences.
