changing societal mores also take me a bit to get back into. regency romances are definitely something i need to be in the mood for.

in high school, i got into a big argument with a teacher about modern audience reactions to previous periods in history. i got a low grade on a paper where i argued that Antigone's huge conflict and risking death to sprinkle dirt on her brother's body was something that a modern audience wouldn't immediately relate to, since burial/afterlife beliefs from ancient greece to the 20th century weren't tightly aligned. while i could intellectually understand Antigone's belief, i wouldn't have the same visceral emotional connection. my teacher felt that all human reactions were timeless and context didn't matter.

i also have to put on my "that was the time/period" hat on when reading Huck Finn and some stuff, like ER Burroughs i just can't read any more at all.
