H.G. Wells's seminal science fiction novel The Time Machine popularized the concept of time travel.
It is a story of a scientist who invents a time machine and travels forward into the future. In writing the novel, Wells created an entirely new kind of narrative.
Thousands of years in the future, the Time Traveler finds that humanity has diverged into two species, which form an overclass, the Eloi and an underclass, the Morlocks. One Eloi, Weena, shows the Traveler tenderness, imploring him to again jump into the future, never to return.
English writer H. G. Wells’s The Time Machine was first published in 1895. Unbound to traditional conceptions of time, the story is able to examine the long-term consequences of human behavior. This dystopic prediction was the germ of a genre that persists today, preoccupied with the fascinating and often terrifying prospects that our descendants may face.
The book contains many powerful themes, such as class struggle, love and intelligence, and time travel. Important symbols include flowers representing tenderness between individuals. The Eloi represent elitism and the loss of intelligence and the Morlocks represent oppression and dependency.
