The main characters in The Time Machine were The Time Traveler, Weena (an Eloi who

The Time Traveler rescued), the Eloi as a race and the Morlocks as a race. Now that

you know the main characters, I will explain their purpose in the novel and their

behaviors. Weena was by far the most interesting character in the novel. She was an

Eloi who was drowning while trying to bathe in a river. The Time Traveler quickly

jumped into the river and rescued her. Weena then started following The Time Traveler

everywhere during his explorations. He learned about the Eloi people and their language

and the Morlocks from Weena. The Time Traveler was definitely intelligent. He figured

out a way to travel through time! He was also a very charming, rich and friendly man, a

little too anxious and curious, I would say. His anxiousness made him go to another time

unprepared, nothing with him but a package of matches. The Morlocks are a futuristic

equivalent to our current day primates-just uglier, smellier and they live underground.

They are very aggressive and are blinded by even weak sources of light. The Morlocks

are carnivorous and sometimes make a meal of an Eloi. The Eloi are a beautiful, friendly

and fragile race of small creatures. They seem to have a great fear of the dark,

because that is when the Morlocks come out from their Underworld. Both are

descendents of humans. The Morlocks stole The Time Machine (I think) to lure The

Time Traveler into the brass gates so they co...

    The Time Machine As I understand it, Darwin in his book ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES published in 1865, argues that natural selection leads to adaptive improvement. Or even, if evolution isn't under the influence of natural selection, this could still lead to divergence and diversity. At one time, there was a single ultimate ancestor, and from this, hundreds of millions of separate individual species evolved. This process where one species splits into two different species is called speciation.

    I would choose “A Rose For Emily” by William Faulkner and “Shiloh” by Bobbie Ann Mason to be put in a time capsule to be unearthed 100 years from now. Because “A Rose For Emily” was written in 1930, and “Shiloh” was written in 1982, I think that considering the two stories side by side would provide an interesting contrast between lifestyles of the early and late 20th century. By comparing setting and characterization in these two stories, people 100 years from now could get a feel for some of the things that have changed during the course of the 20th century and some of the things that have not.

    Many franchises have incorporated the intrigues of time travel in their plots. For instance, a recent movie, Interstellar (2014), depicts time-travel as a one-way ticket to the future whereby the people left behind age or are dead when the time traveller returns. A Czech film by the name Ikarie XB-1 (1963) applies a similar concept. Interstellar also applies time travelling through higher dimensions—which are dubbed as tesseracts in the film. Moreover, the higher dimension theme is depicted in the time quintet books by L'Engle (1963) where a tesseract folds time. One of the most famous franchises Doctor Who (1963) time travel plot centres around a space-time vortex. The TARDIS machine uses the extra-dimensional vortex to travel through time while its passengers are unaffected. Other time travel themes include instantaneous time jumping as depicted in Back to the Future (1985) and The Girl Who Leapt through Time (2006), and going faster than the speed of light as shown in Superman: The Movie (1978) where Christopher Reeve (Superman) flies faster than the speed of light to save Margot Kidder (Louis Lane) in the

    The future depicted by H.G. Wells in The Time Machine is plausible, but only in certain ways such as the idea of the working class eventually surpassing the rich upper class and gradually taking over. In the future depicted by H.G. Wells we can see that he very clearly highlights the class distinction between the rich and the poor. This future created by Wells is one where society has evolved so much that there is no longer a need for any kind of improvement. The society they live in is one without need for medicine, weapons, or even technology. The Morlocks are the working class who live underground beneath the Eloi, they work to support the Eloi but eventually we learn that they have begun to eat their upper class rulers known as the Eloi. H.G. Wells creates a future where society has evolved so much that it has actually devolved and restored earth to something representative of prehistoric times. This future created by Wells is definitely possible in some respects but in looking at if this physical prediction is plausible, then it loses some of its weight. The future where humans have devolved back to the point of being fragile, dumb, useless creatures as embodied in the Eloi is a little much to believe in, but the premise of the lower class staging a mutiny is one the on small scales has already happened in society and could certainly transpire in the future.

    First of all, to give you a better concept of time I will use a personal theory of mine. When you look up at the sky at night, at the stars, what are you seeing? Do you think that collage of stars actually exists? Most of them do not. When you look at the sky at night you are seeing the past because it takes an obscene amount of time for the light from those stars to reach earth, and in that time those stars may have disappeared.

  • Critical Analysis Of The Time Machine

    2024 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, a novel about a man’s journey through the future or criticism to the evolution of human race? The Time Traveler sets out on this journey not knowing what he would find or see in the year 802,701. When he arrives he comes across people known as the Eloi. The Eloi are uneducated, small beautiful creature who don’t work or have any political issues. What seems at first like a utopian society that he heard of in the 19th century, turns out to be quite different as he finds out about the creatures who live under ground, the Morlocks. The Morlocks are the “working class” and creatures that consume Elois. By providing these two different classes Wells is trying to prove the devolution of society through the knowledge of the “upper class” and “lower class” in the Victorian Era. Throughout the Time Machine H.G Wells tries to demonstrate how the
