The Time Machine

The Time Machine is excellent novella with a profound moral message. It conveys the morality through a man’s journey into the future and his encounter with the evolved form of the human race. This essay will examine the fusion of the fantastic futuristic ideas based on British society and introductions to thought provoking scientific theories. Herbert George Wells was a man of science. After attending the Normal School of Science, he became a teacher. He studied under Thomas Henry Huxley, a famous advocate of the scientific theory of evolution. Wells was interested in the concerns of the lower classesand the inequality of British society. For this reason he joined a socialist group called the ‘Fabian Society’. They believed that social reforms, and the alteration of the political structures would bring about a gradual improvement of the social system. ‘The Time Machine’ portrays these ideas and beliefs clearly. ‘The Time Machine’ was published in 1890s. It was considered one of the forerunners of the science .

They continue to labour, maintaining and running huge machines deep in the earth. In the late 19thand early 20th centuries disease was a common occurrence. He noticed that no illness was present. They were kept well and healthy only to be seized and eaten when the Morlocks grew hungry. The Time Travellers summons the courage and ventures down towards the Morlock world. The Eloi”tms were being harvested like calves. Maybe because many of them have not seen an adult. The only thing which’s stays intact is sympathy and emotion shown through The Time Traveller and Weena. “?The time traveller appeared shocked and disappointed by the Eloi people and “?For a moment I felt that I had built the time Machine in vain”tm. They have adapted physically to living beneath the surface, with large eyes which are sensitive to light and un-pigmented skin. Wells presents three ideas: the first and most significant is that capitalism is dangerous. Now, through time disease has been eradicated. It is here were he makes the startling discovery. This is evident from the relationship between Morlocks and late 19th centurylabourers and the Eloi and the London aristocracy. It is at this time he realises The Time Machine has vanished.
