The time machine by H. G.
Wells
"Time Machine" is a science fiction novel that imagines how the social situation in Victorian
England evolved in 802,701. The story was unveiled at a banquet in the home of the famous
scientist Time Traveller, who was explaining scientific and mathematical principles (including
narration of storytelling) to dinner guests to support the possibility of traveling through time Like
one will travel through space. His guests are British high society figures, including doctors,
psychologists, journalists, etc.
They doubted his statement. To prove the correctness of his ideas, Time Traveler brought a small
machine into the living room. The psychologist has always been skeptical. He pressed the
joystick and the machine disappeared. Then, "Time Traveler" revealed that he has almost
completed a life-size machine that can travel through time and space. He showed the machine to
the guests, but they were still skeptical.
At the dinner next week, Time Traveler was not there to greet his guests. He left a note
instructing them to continue to have dinner if they were late, and on their way to dinner, Time
Traveler stumbled into the house, looking shirted and injured. Once Time Traveller was looted, he
agreed to tell his story completely without letting anyone argue with him or ask any questions
because he was very tired.
"Time Traveler" said that he completed the loading and unloading of the machine in the previous
week and sailed to the future. He arrived at the place where his laboratory once stood in 802,701-
it had been transformed into a strange flowery garden beside a giant white sphinx statue. He saw
individuals as small as humans (later known by Welles as Eloi), they seemed weak and much
smarter than he hoped people in the future would have.
Time Traveler continues his story: sentient beings are friendly to him, and he begins to explore
the landscape in search of clues about what happened. In this world, there seems to be no
adversity, fear, or fatigue. Time Traveler assumes that this is the future communist utopia, and all
social problems have been solved. He believes that this can explain human weakness and
stupidity-in a peaceful and abundant world, no force or wisdom is required. "Time Traveler" was
briefly pleased, but despite thinking that all problems were solved, he was still disappointed that
future humans were not smart or curious.
When Time Traveler returned to the garden where he landed, he realized that his time machine
was gone. He briefly fell into a panic of anger, and then decided that the rational action was to
study this new world, learn its ways, and let this knowledge bring him back to the time machine.
Seeing the grooves in the grass convinced him that the machine was hidden behind the metal
panel at the base of the Sphinx statue, but it didn't when he tried to open it.
Time Traveler began to learn Eloi's language (it was very simple). He explored the landscape and
noticed the strange network of dry wells and towers, which implied a large underground
ventilation system. He also noticed that Eloi never seemed to do any work, but their sandals
looked new and the clothes were not worn. This observation, coupled with the fact that he felt
something touching him at night, and a glimpse of a strange white animal, convinced him that his
original utopian interpretation was insufficient. Later that day, he rescued a drowning Eloi. Her
name is Weena, and she began to send flowers to him, and followed him everywhere to express
her gratitude.
Weena feels pain every time she leaves her, and her fear of darkness makes Time Traveler
realize that the Eloys are not without fear and danger. One morning, while avoiding the high
temperature shelter, he saw a white ape rushing down from one of the wells he had previously
observed. Time Traveler concluded that it is disgusting that Iloy is not the only species that
evolved from humans in that era: the Moroccans known as apes are also descendants of
humans.
That’s a little about what happens in the book, overall I think the book was quite long and half
boring, but it was interesting and not too hard to read. Although I think the movie based on this
novel I properly allot better so I will take my time to watch it. I am a sci-fi movie kinda guy, so
looking forward to it.
