The book begins in the Time Traveler's home, where he and his guests are having dinner and discussing his theories about time and time travel. When the Time Traveler tells the guests he can actually do it, they are skeptical. So…

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.…

their time. As a result, the idea of time machine is considered to heal human sufferings. At very young age, I was interested in non-fiction stories. When I was six, I read the Doremon comic and hated the idea of time machine. I thought the invention of time machine would be a disaster for human beings because it broke the cycle of life, including birth, growth, old, and death. However, since I came to the U.S., I started to think about the “disaster machine”. I wish I would go back to the time…

The Time Machine H.G. Wells composed The Time Machine in 1895, a long time before time travel as we probably are aware it was even thought about. It is presumed that many would joyfully fight that The Time Machine is the first catalyst for the idea that would bring forth such well-known media as Dr. Who and the more extensive part of time travel seen in other sci-fi. That being stated, time travel isn't the purpose of Wells' novella. Rather, time travel is the casing through which he…

scientists to create a time machine even though it is impossible to happen in real life. If a time machine really existed, many people would invest their money into it. Imagine a time machine that can do everything. It can bring us back to a certain point of life, so we can fix what happened and or it takes us to the future to see the effect of our choice in our life. With the help of the machine everything in our life will turn out like what we want it to be. However, even if the machine…

races originated from humans today, the Time Traveler theorizes three main ideas about how this came about. In the Time Machine, the Time Traveler suggests three theories; the Eoli are the only human descendants and have become lazy due to a too easy life, secondly, he believes that the Morlocks evolved into rugged workers based on their lifestyle, and lastly, the Morlocks have become predators to the Eoli people. On his journey to the future, the Time Traveler concludes his first theory…

First published in 1895, H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine writes to the fears of the Victorian age. Divisions in class between the workers and their employers was a cause for high tension, while the publication of Charles Darwin’s The Descent of Man brought fears of degeneration of the entire human race. They are both addressed and confirmed in H.G. Wells’ dystopia. However, by the 1960s, the dominating fears had changed and consequently, so did The Time Machine. In the 1960 movie adaptation of the…

new age of imperialism and saw what was done to the states across the globe. As a result, each of them developed and shared ideas on their views on imperialism. H.G Wells and Liang Qichao were both against imperialism. Through his book The Time Machine the time traveler met with the “two natives inhabitants”. This followed a traditional European view that there was the nice and superior tribe, the Eloi, which welcome the foreigners and the evil tribe, the Morlock, who were savages. Throughout…

suffer our dominion” (Wells 239). H.G. Wells is trying to demonstrate the cruelty of colonialism and how Britain 's colonial subjects are helpless to stop their oppression, just as the humans are incapable of stopping the aliens. In The Time Machine “Wells’s Time Traveler voyages 800,000 years into the future… the class divisions of England have led, disastrously, to two distinct human species: the childlike, incompetent Eloi, and the monstrous, subterranean Morlocks” (Achenbach 110). This is…

but we at the least have many ideas. Some of these ideas agree with each other, and some of these ideas conflict with each other as the two Time Traveler films do sometimes. Women in the 1960 Time Machine movie, were portrayed as stupid characters and I believe were not very respected in the eyes of the author. On the other hand, women in the 2002 Time Machine movie were smart, skilled, and just as respected and powerful as men. The women in the 2002 movie represented…
