There must be a cut off point for the age of a text where it becomes cringe to compare it in your writing. Right? No one would bat an eye if you compared yourself to Fortunato or Mercutio, or Hektor or etc etc but if you compare yourself to say: Oberyn or Aragorn or really even Dracula would be pushing it. So there has to be a point where it goes from being cool to being cringe. Where is it? Is it time or popularity that dictates?
