Time is not only the simple passage of years, but also, with the changing times comes a change of ideals, mindsets, practices, structures of government, also changes in laws and thought patterns of people as a whole. Classic literature must have a theme, which remains thought provoking beyond and despite any differences in the structure of the daily world.
