Why classics always have a market

Post by: Deepti Khanna

We have all lived on classics. From Charles Dicken's Oliver Twist to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice to George Orwell's Animal Farm, we have cried, laughed, chuckled at the various episodes, not-to-be-forgotten scenes from these memorable novels. But have you ever thought about what keeps bringing us back to these timeless pieces of fiction? We tell you what makes the classic what it is today  

* The plots of most classic novels are lengthy, complex and have plenty of twists and turns in its storyline and language
 


* Novels are all about intricacy – of emotions and descriptions. For every classic writer the God is in the details. It's not about the incident alone, but how the character looked, reacted to the situation and how he/she felt at that point of time

 

* Classic novels are a reflection of the society prevelant then. Novels are a wonderful portrayal of the times and the people that lived then.

 

* The character portrayals in classics are very idealistic. The characters are either good or bad. There is nothing like a grey charcter. In the end the virtuous are always rewarded and the evil-doers are always rightfully punished

 

* The storyline of classic novels are usually followed by a moral lesson towards the end

 

* Classical novels generally deal with serious and dismal topics

 

* Many realistic novels depict the harsh real-life situations and expel all charms from the plot

 

* Authors of classic novels attack the prevailing traditions and social conditions of the times in their works

 

* A classic novel makes ample use of literaty tools like – symbolism, naturalism, realism, experimentalism, romancticism etc to enrich the novel

 

The popularity of these classic novels will never diminish; rather it would be carried forward in future. The themes and style in these masterpieces are always exclusive and will always continue to hold the readers' interest.
