The Time Machine By H. G. Wells

“It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.”(Albert Einstein). In The Time Machine by H.G Wells. The author contemplates that, the way humans are evolving and developing in terms of technology. This advancement of technology foreshadows the loss of humanity therefore leading into the destruction of the earth. This is shown when The Time Traveler looks on Morlocks and Elois relationship, Weena’s character as a woman, and also the nature’s correspondence with this evolution of humans. Firstly, the author first portrays Elois as “beautiful, graceful but childlike and frail.” (Wells 24). After words, The Time
This theory was shown in chapter 10, “It is a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble.

Also he states, “We are kept keen on the grindstone of pain and necessity.” (Wells 78). This shows that there’s a lot of pain to evolve into the strong race of humans. The social class difference was too high for Elois to evolve and survive against Morlocks because of the laziness they have got from the use of technology on a daily basis.
