Ragtime is a novel that deals with change and some people's inability to deal with it. The author addresses this idea through techniques such as irony, signifiers f name and behavior, juxtaposition of dramatic difference between past and future, historicism (such as reducing celebrities to commonalities), and other metaphors that point to shiftiness of time. Ragtime is a novel with enduring meaning since change occurs constantly, all the time and its results lead into the same meaninglessness and feelings of angst that we see denoted in the novel. Many of the themes are still enduing factors. Prejudice, for instance, still exists, as does snobbishness, and parochialism. On the other hand, we have noble traits too that endure. An Evelyn exists in all generations. Ragtime is therefore a novel with enduring appeal which may be why it is voted one of the 100 of all American classics.

Apparently, the more physical (or natural) their substance, the more open they are to disproval and the more likely they are to change. On the other hand, differences of age and geography also cause differences in interpretation and, therefore, inconsistency, of the material. Characteristics, too, vary with the more spiritual beliefs, such as the Bible and existentialism promoting moral and ethical values (or lack of them). Pantheism may be an exception here. The ‘harder' the ideology, however, the more morals and ethics are excluded from it. Science (or naturalism) is an instance of this.
