Answer: Writers often choose to develop socially relevant themes such as politics, gender dynamics, class inequality, industrialization and its effects, war and its repercussions, or the complexities of relationships. Themes that are relevant to many people across generations tend to remain relevant over time. Readers across different time periods can relate to such themes. For example, literature that explores gender dynamics is as relevant today as it was centuries ago. While the same views may no longer hold true, this theme is open to different areas of exploration. A theme that is hard for readers to identify with as time passes (colonialism and its effects, for example) tends not to span generations.
