D. Audiences find the main themes of ambition and desire relevant regardless of the time period.

In literature there are universal/atemporal themes to write about, if you write about injustice, about love, about ambition, these are themes innate to human nature and always will be relevant. This is why macbeth still to this day is current and relatable.
