Context is important in classical literature, because space-time is distance from the here and now. So we study on the methodology of classical literature education utilizing the context. We try to adjust the meaning of `context` by comparing with `textual situation`. Namely, textual situation is the information that learner understand from the internal text, but context is the information that learner search from the outside or given by outside. Learners must study classical literature text by relating internal text with context. In the first step, learner understand the internal text, and reason the context. In the second step, learner understand the classical literature text with the context of `the then and there`, `He[They]`. And learner relates internal text with context by replacing or fabricating the context. In the third step, learner compare `the then and there`, `He[They]` with `the here and now`, `I[We]`. In the fourth step, learner produce the text himself by criticizing the classical literature text with `I[We]`s context. Learner`s literary ability is elevated by these process.
