For a novel to be a classic novel it has to be timeless. Timeless means that the novel never ages. Of course the novel will be old and have been around for awhile but the reasons classics are classics is because there’s something true about them and when that’s the case the story will never age. Shakespeare is a perfect example of his poems being timeless because any of them could have been written now.
