(Anonymous) 2012-10-22 04:05 am (UTC)(link)The only reason why anyone considers it a classic isn't because of its quality. It's because one pretentious critic near the turn of last century said it was good, and everyone else thought it was fashionable to agree instead of come up with their own opinions about the work. So as a result, most of us who have taken a high school English course have had to be subjected to page-long passages about the color white and its relevance to evil. If it wasn't for that one critic, Moby Dick would still be just an obscure piece of work.
But seriously, the term "classic" tends to be bandied about in literature, and in some cases, the only reason why a book is lumped in with them is because no one thinks to disagree with a small but vocal following.
So I guess you could say that, yeah, classics are classics for a reason, but it's probably not the reason you were thinking of.
