dedicated on Darwinism and evolution. On the course of the book, the author compares between the Eloi and the Morlocks and exposes their weaknesses and strengths, in this comparison Wells is trying to present the negative impacts that the division of society can cause. He metaphorically uses the Eloi people as the upper class and the Morlocks as the lower class, and showed how the Morlocks rebel against the Eloi and began consuming them as their appetite. Another concern Wells seemed to emphasize
The Time Machine represents the different classes of society and how each one is changing and benefitting. The Eloi represent the upper-class who are very petty and lazy as they sit around all day and do nothing for themselves. The Morlocks represent the lower and working-class as they live underground and have to work to survive. While the Eloi's society seems perfect at first, they are lazy and weak with no stress for survival showing it is an imperfect society. With no stress for survival, the
Time Machine is a novel by H.G. wells. It is a fictional story about The Time Traveler’s journey into the far future and his troubles to get back to the present. On his journeys, he stumbles upon the descendants of the human race the Eloi and the Morlocks. Unfortunately, the first night that the Time Traveler spent in the future, his time machine was stolen and little did he know his adventures had just begun. I enjoyed this book, and it captured my attention with the high degree of intellect and
As suggested in the novel, the distinction lies between the effeminized Eloi and powerful Morlocks. The Eloi are examples that suggest a degenerated community cannot be processed beyond infancy. While the Morlock community suggests that humanity is devolving. H. G. Wells suggests to the reader that recognizing the wickedness of the Morlocks is to understand that some morals will transcend time and that wickedness thrives when the image of that person or creature
This narrative serves as a symbol aiding a discussion of socialism and its principles of equality. Wells suggests to his Victorian audience that current society change its ways, lest it end up like the Eloi, petrified of a revolutionary race of Morlocks.
The Theme of Humanity in the Time Machine H.G Wells was born in Bromley Kent on the 21st September 1866. He had attended school called Midhurst Grammar in 1883, soon after he had gone to the normal school of science in London. There he had learned biology, which could lead to why he had written science fiction novels. He had left the school without the qualifications to become a writer. He began his career as a writer in 1893 and then continued to create stories, such as the Time Machine
802,701, where he met two groups of creatures: the Eloi and the Morlocks. The Eloi were small creatures who lived above the ground in crumbling buildings. They were shiftless and not very bright, but they were content. He rescued and befriended a particular Eloi named Weena. However, after learning that his time machine had been stolen, he discovered another group, the Morlocks. These creatures lived below ground in tunnels. The Morlocks were sinister and mischievous. The Time Traveller needed to get
that is subterranean and are called Morlocks. The Morlocks have evolved from people who worked underground in mines, or, underground in general. As a consequence of this, as the species were so used to being underground, in order to accommodate their needs, larger and larger factories were built underground. Wells also says that the whole Morlock community live underground and only emerge during the evening as the sun affects their skin and eyes. The Morlocks create clothes, shoes and give food
H.G. Wells' Time Machine and Its Relativity with the Victorian Era Herbert George Wells was an English writer from the nineteenth century. He was born on September the 21st 1866 in Bromley, Kent. He first wrote a book when he was eleven; although this was not published it was a great achievement. He won a scholarship to the school of science, but he failed due to his other interests such as history, journalism, sociology and writing. His dad was a pro cricketer and a domestic servant. This
Chapters 1 and 2 Summary The Time Traveller is in his home, speaking to a group of men that includes the narrator. He is lecturing on the fourth dimension. He tells them that a cube exists not only in space, but also in time. Time is the fourth dimension. Many of them are skeptical. The Time Traveller claims that one should be able to move about in the fourth dimension just as one can move about in the other three. After all, he notes, we are constantly moving forward in time, why not move faster
weeds or fungi; everywhere were fruits and sweet and delightful flowers; brilliant butterflies flew hither and thither.' There were two separate forms of life in this time; they were the Eloi and the Morlocks. The Eloi were the weaker of the two beings, and they were used as food for the Morlocks. H.G. Wells describes them in the book 'He was a slight creature- perhaps four feet high- clad in a purple tunic, girdled at the waist with a leather belt. Sandals or buskins- I could not clearly distinguish

Over the many years of English literature and various forms of media, the ideals of the times and of the creators of these works have changed; some drastically, some possibly not as much. The genre of science fiction is no exception. Take, for example, two of the most widely-known science fiction novels in the history of English literature: The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds, written in the late 1800s in Victorian England by H.G. Wells—novels which, quite arguably, revolutionized the science
Review of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine Science fiction is literary or cinematic genre in which fantasy, typically based on scientific discoveries or developments, environmental changes, space travel, or life on other planets, forms part of the plot or background. Examples of scientific films would be Star Wars, I robot, Matrix, Star Trek and many more. In a scientific film you will find unusual weapons, fast weird looking cars, aliens, lots of machines and funny costumes, all this things
When the time traveler thought of the future he made assumptions that would suggest that the in the future, society would act in a progressive manner. He believed that society would be free of disease, that the human species would be very advanced compared to the humans in his time, and that the human beings in this society would not know fear because of their advances in technology. These assumptions are soon proven false early on when the time traveler thought he “…had built the time machine in
characters around which the story revolves. Beginning with the Eloi and the Morlocks, which are the two branches of humanity in the year 802,701. The Eloi, who are our capitalist force, and whom resemble modern humans the most, live above ground and feed on the vast vegetation that has engulfed the Earth. The Eloi are lazy and mind spans to that of a five-year-old. The Eloi never fully mature for the cannibalistic Morlocks harvest them at a certain age as food. The Eloi are described as fair of skin

This is quite ironic as later on in the novel we find light to be good as it is where the eloi live, and dark to be bad as it is where the morlocks spend there time. The part about fire is also ironic as he takes it for granted through the novel and finds out how useful it really is when he goes to battle with the mor... ... middle of paper ... ...n responsible for the death of a person
dehumanizes the Morlocks by defining them based on their exterior qualities, saying they are bleached and obscene. In continuation, Firchow explains the divide between the groups as “into the creatures of light (the Eloi) and the creatures of darkness (the Morlocks)” showing that the divide is not “merely social but it is also psychological.” (Firchow). Furthering the idea that this is a divide between good and evil, Firchow explains that the Time Traveler sees the Eloi as light and the Morlocks as darkness

intelligence. The themes of The Time Machine still relate to modern times however the distinction between classes is more subtle than the Nineteenth Century. The distinction between the classes nowadays is ever so small as we all live like the Morlocks who have work in order to survive. However the discrimination between classes is less prominent than in the Nineteenth Century. Nowadays classes are not determined by which family you are born into, it is more about the kind of job you have, your
