Eloi

“If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin.” Charles Darwin. Great the misery of the Morlock and Eloi are, from the perspective of the time traveler. From the very moment the Traveler saw the Eloi he began his theory making. Three of which closely resemble or relate to Darwin’s natural selection. The Time Traveler’s first glance and review of the Eloi people is that they live very peaceful and comfortable lives. He notes that the Eloi have little to no distinction between male and female, most likely to be since there are no real struggles or hardships for them to go through. With the easy lives they lead there is no need for them to be distinctive in their characters, and those traits were just filtered out over time through natural selection. With their human appearance this is what the Traveler firstly believes the human race evolves into over time through the course of natural selection.…

In The Time Machine, by H.G Wells, Wells’ view of humanity is shown as the Traveler advances into the future. When he reaches the year 802,701 AD, he encounters two different species of what seem to be the humans of that time period. The Time Traveller names these two species “Eloi” and the “Morlocks”.

In the story "The Time Machine" the Time Traveler theorizes about how the human race evolved into the Eloi and the Morlocks; many of these theories reflect ideas from Darwin's work. The theories the Time Traveler composes directly tie in with ideas of evolution, Natural Selection and environmental changes. First the Time traveler think that the Eloi are the only descendants of the human race; this is before he discovered the Morlocks. He believes that scientific progress continued to make…

The Time Traveler is first introduced to what he describes as a communistic society through the Eloi. The Eloi people are genderless passing, telling the reader that the difference of sexes are not an issue in the future. Due to Social Darwinism, the Eloi have also become frail, stupid, and lazy people who rely on the Morlocks to do the work for them. Despite the environment change to an…

Last he believes that the Morlocks were once slaves to the Eloi, being the “working class”, but took revenge on them and prey and terrorize them. All theories are developed…

Wells uses great description and details to help the reader grasp what he theorizes of the species for example: “(His flushed face reminded me of the more beautiful kind of consumptive—that hectic beauty of which we used to hear so much Wells18)”.This is just…
