The Time Machine-By H.G. Wells
The Time Machine by H.G. Wells was about
a man from the 19th century that traveled through time in his time
machine. The Time Traveler, for that is what he was known as, traveled to the
year 802,701 A.D. and when he arrived there, he was in the
same place he was before he left. While he was scoping out the area, he ran
into some strange little creatures called the “Eloi”. After The Time Traveler observed the Eloi, he
came to his own first hypotheses that they are communists. He studied them
further and began to see what they do all day. Well actually the Eloi were very
lazy people that were afraid of the dark. All they did all day, every day was
eat, sleep, and bathe. The Eloi were also asexual, which meant that they all
looked the same which supported his hypothesis of the communist society. It was
understandable that the Time Traveler thought that the Eloi were Communist
until he met the Morlock. Once he met the “Morlock” he learned that they were
pretty much the complete opposite of the Eloi. First of all the Eloi had fair skin,
curly blond hair, and had little suction cup type instruments on their hands. Whereas
the Morlock were pale skinned, strong, smart creatures that hunted the Eloi. The
Eloi were afraid of the dark because the Morlock came out at night and hunted
them. The Eloi were weak and the Morlock were strong. The Eloi were lazy and
the Morlock were hard working. The Eloi and Morlock were opposites that lived
in the same society. I think that is why Wells changed his perspective. The Eloi
lived in a Communist society as Eloi. But the Eloi and the Morlock together were
not a Communist society. That is what Wells was saying.
