Belonging is found in every text whether it be comedy or tragedy alike, they are all based around belonging, so within the works of these two authors, interest is drawn by the responders through their takes on belonging. Every move made by a character, every word spoken and every decision they make is all the work of the authors themselves. Context is a major feature that is involved with the way these authors have written about belonging, as when the times change, so does the value of certain aspects of society. One idea that coincides with belonging is that of reputation and reputation is held of great importance during both the 1600s and the 60s, the contexts in which Othello was written and the Salem Witch Trials took place, but also includes the year when The Crucible was written.

Therefore, according to his logic, he had the right to do as he pleased.
