A project work on ‘The time Machine by HG Wells’

          There is no denying the fact that The Time Machine is a book of science fiction by H. G. Wells, published in wherever the people are finding a place free from all sorts’ sins and pollution influencing humans and other creature to be cruel, heinous and agitated all the time. A young traveler had invented a time machine which he could travel in the past, present and future. In this exceptional fictional book, there are four dimensions; the three plains of Space, and the fourth, Time which sequentially control the world as a tentative flow. The plains of Space include length, breadth, thickness, and duration. A figure that has all four of these features exists, can be seen and felt. Then there is another dimension that we all seem to take lightly, the fourth dimension; Time. We may have traveled through space, distance, and even through our own earth to reach the side of something we hope to find. H. G. Wells hunted to find a way through time. Some say it's impossible, and some say that one day in the distant future, man will be able to travel back and forth through time at will. A man of science hopes to find this answer. He builds a machine that is capable of doing this exact thing, the time machine. By taking himself into the distant future, the Time Traveler finds himself in a new world, a world with no disease, insects, weeds, or violence.  Here, according to the book, the time traveler has made his utmost efforts to explore such a world which is bedded on peace, trust, love and an idealistic society.

About Eloi

According to the author in the style of new narrative, the Time Traveller tests his device with a journey that takes him to 802,701 A.D., where he meets the Eloi, a society of small, elegant, childlike adults. They live in small communities within large and futuristic yet slowly deteriorating buildings, doing no work and having a frugivorous diet. His efforts to communicate with them are hampered by their lack of curiosity or discipline, and he speculates that they are a peaceful communist society, the result of humanity conquering nature with technology, and subsequently evolving to adapt to an environment in which strength and intellect are no longer advantageous to survival.

About Morlocks

Returning to the site where he arrived, the Time Traveller finds his time machine missing and eventually works out that it has been dragged by some unknown party into a nearby structure with heavy doors, locked from the inside, which resembles a Sphinx. Later in the dark, he is approached menacingly by the Morlocks, ape-like troglodytes who live in darkness underground and surface only at night. Within their dwellings he discovers the machinery and industry that makes the above-ground paradise possible. He alters his theory, speculating that the human race has evolved into two species: the leisured classes have become the ineffectual Eloi, and the downtrodden working classes have become the brutish light-fearing Morlocks. Deducing that the Morlocks have taken his time machine, he explores the Morlock tunnels, learning that they feed on the Eloi. His revised analysis is that their relationship is not one of lords and servants but of livestock and ranchers, and with no real challenges facing either species. They have both lost the intelligence and character of Man at its peak.

Meanwhile, he saves an Eloi named Weena from drowning as none of the other Eloi takes any novice of her, and they develop an innocently affectionate relationship over the course of several days. He takes Weena with him on an expedition to a distant structure that turns out to be the remains of a museum, where he finds a fresh supply of matches and fashions a crude weapon against Morlocks, whom he fears he must fight to get back his machine. He plans to take Weena back to his own time. Because the long and tiring journey back to Weena's home is too much for them, they stop in the forest, and they are then overcome by Morlocks in the night, and Weena faints. The Traveller escape only when a small fire he had left behind them to distract the Morlocks catches up to them as a forest fire; Weena is presumably lost in the fire, as are the Morlocks.

The Morlocks use the time machine as bait to ensnare the Traveller, not understanding that he will use it to escape. He travels further ahead to unevenly 30 million years from his own time. There he sees some of the last living things on a dying Earth, menacing reddish crab-like creatures slowly wandering the blood-red beaches chasing butterflies in a world covered in simple vegetation. He continues to make short jumps through time, seeing Earth's rotation gradually cease and the sun grow dimmer, and the world falling silent and freezing as the last degenerate living things die out.

According to the survey of the author, all I find is a new race of humans, which he calls the Eloi. I prefer the lifestyles of the Eloi where such creatures are, to the Time Traveler's eyes, very fragile and cheerful, dancing around to play with their new toy that has mysteriously come to this place. These creatures may seem like harmless children, but the Time Traveler finds a second race that roams these hills, another race of man so contorted and savage that he must fight against the terrors of the night to stay alive. The Morlocks as he calls them feast on the flesh of the Eloi. They are what you would call albino creatures. They live under the earth and only come out in the dark. After going through the book, It was an inquiring feeling whether the Time Traveler ever makes it back home, or will he be doomed to face his fears in this queer world of the future
