If you can't comprehend the material, you might consider extending your education in the English language, including seeing how it has evolved over the last 100+ years. That and a good dictionary and a few encyclopedias.

Significance of classic works? How pretentious. A work is a classic because it's good enough to be enjoyed no matter how old it is. Yes, I read classic works. Some I re-read because they're that good-but don't kid yourself that they're 'significant'. The only significance is that they're used by educators to make kids hate reading.
