Morlock

In the novel A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens, there are many ways in which Ebenezer Scrooge is redeemed by Jacob Marley’s ghost and the three Christmas Spirits. The novel’s setting starts in London where there are serious world problems lurking. Dickens, throughout the novel, does not stray far from showing the importance of maintaining good humanity in one’s lifetime. Dickens depicts this through the main character, Scrooge, showing his redemption from the beginning and end of the…

Finally, whereas Victorian definitions of progress implicitly rely on a binary opposition of success and failure, Morley and Stevenson use Fortune’s Wheel to replace it with a definition of human development where both fortune and misfortune can co-exist without contradicting each other. In the 1880s and 1890s, the Wheel of Fortune could easily have been used as a portent of the apocalypse, suggesting as it does that decline is inevitable. Many critics of the day were already talking about…

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 life easier for…

In our society, there are two types of people. The Morlocks and the Eloi. The Morlocks are smart and aggressive savages. While the Eloi are weak, helpless, and careless. In The Time Machine, by H.G. Wells, certain types of people evolved into what came to be the Morlocks and the Eloi. In our society today, there are many Eloi as we rely more on new science and technology. We have become more addicted and reliant to our own technology, like cellphones. We rely on drugs for almost every illness.…

about how the Morlocks and the Eloi people evolved. Three of Time Traveller’s theories that clearly reflect Darwin’s main points will be explained throughout the essay. His first theory is that the Eloi are the sole descendants of mankind. After discovering the Morlocks, he thinks the Morlocks are slaves of the Eloi as his second theory. When the Time Traveller discovers that the Morlock hunt and terrify the Eloi, he speculates that his second theory was once accurate, but the Morlocks evolved…

In The Time Machine the time traveler theories about the future human organisms evolving into two distinguishing forms, Morlocks and Elois. H.G Well’s theories are much similar to Charles Darwin’s idea of natural selection and evolution. 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…

who rely on the Morlocks to do the work for them. Despite the environment change to an almost desert like wasteland, the Morlocks and Eloi have evolved through Social Darwinism and not through environmental change. Furthermore, “The Time Machine” begins to heavily be influenced by Social Darwinism. Evidence that the Eloi people represent the “ruling” class and Morlocks are the working class became clear as the Time Traveler described the Eloi as people who depended on the Morlocks for food and…

fight. His second theory is after he discovers the morlocks, he thinks they were the slaves of the Elois. He still feels that the Elois have evolved into frail creatures because life was too easy for them. But he also believes that the Morlocks have evolved into brute workers. Because of this the Morlocks will play a huge role in natural selection because they have evolved into such strong workers that they are more then…

me of mean girls the plastics vs the losers, where you see Regina George stereotype against Janis and Damian. In life, it is like comparing Protestants against Catholics, they are both people but they live very different ways of life. I see these Morlocks and Elio as on distinctive sides of the spectrum. On one side of the spectrum is the Elio, who are “perhaps four feet high, clad in a purple tunic, girdled at the waist with a leather belt.” When the author first meets one he said that they…

H.G. Wells incorporates the political standpoint of late Victoria England. He is trying to point out how troubled the future will be if the current society doesn't change its ways. If not, the society will become the Eloi, terrified of the Morlocks. The Morlocks are strong and terrifying. Key Idea 1- The Time Traveler creates a small replica of the bigger time machine he later shows his guests. The small time machine disappears into thin air. The Time Traveler explains the reason you…
