I intend to discuss H. G. Wells’s book, The Time Machine, and how it examines the differences in social classes. I will present the argument that this book is the definition of divided social classes and how it can affect our world. First, I will explore the future world as witnessed by the Time Traveler. I will inspect how the two classes are portrayed; the Morlocks living in the decrepit underground while the Eloi live a beautiful life above ground. Here, I plan to use an article written by John S. Partington, where he discusses the differences between the Morlocks and the Eloi and how they relate to Victorian society. Second, I will focus on the reasoning behind the Time Traveler’s decision to invite the certain people he did for dinner.
