you can compare two texts through different types of contexts
for example,
HISTORICAL CONTEXT - year / century, and the particular events significant in that time e.g. war
SOCIAL CONTEXT - how people interacted and by what means / the social ladder - e.g. during shakespeare's time women were looked down on and referred to as 'whores'
PERSONAL CONTEXT - significant events to the persona, e.g. when the main character's father passed away
RELIGIOUS CONTEXT - self explanatory
CULTURAL CONTEXT - cultural practices / events of the time
by comparing contexts, you are drawing either SIMILARIES and DIFFERENCES between the two texts to make a point
