Explain “The Time Machine’s” View Of Humanity?

H. G. Wells was fascinated by the theory of phylogeny and how remote that mankind could control its own destiny. This is evident in a nonher(prenominal) originals of Wells such as War of the Worlds and The Shape of Things to Come. so far nowhere is his fear for mankinds time to come more(prenominal) evident than in his refreshing The condemnation Machine. His love of humanity in crisis and scientific theories become produced this great book, that has a surprising reflection of what could be seen as the views and de moralisticised jitters of the author. Person every last(predicate)y I believe there are deuce point of references in the smart that flummox Wells views.I believe that the main character of the book named The Time traveller was meant to represent the authors fear and disillusion for the future of humanity. The other character being Filby who is the Time travellers best friend seems to be an eternal optimist whom is hoping that maven day mankind go forth see the misunderstanding of its ways and make an about turn from the fate that Wells portrays to be that of man in the future. To study in depth the Time Machines personation of humanity we must further look into the contrastive societies at different expirations of the novel and find out the Time Machines views on these mixer groups. creation strictly chronological, the first order of magnitude that we must look at in set up to make a comparison was the union of law and order to which he be hankered, dainty England. A poor time and place to spicy in, the common folk scarcely made becoming money to suffer and disease soon spread among the cities and eventu completelyy caused London to smell repulsively. These generation were of flourish to those in the upper buildes who wallowed in more money than one ordinary human could ever aspire to accumulate.These people thought of themselves exactly as as the upper layer this was to the cessation that those lower would non be allowed to address the upper shed light on citizens. Unjustly those poorer than themselves were not hard-boiled as a partnership in poverty unless they were treated as lazy ungrateful mob that were treated as slaves. At this point in hitarradiddle child labour had not moreover been abolished and children were static treated like slaves carrying out all the tasks that the upper class would have never even known how to complete.Most citizens of the lower classes were peaked(predicate) spoken and were uneducated, these people new of only their trade that could earn them a small amount of money to eat and sleep. In comparison to this hard shameful era, Wells, in the primaeval part of the book is using Filby as the narrator and the only part of this society that is touched upon by the novel is the upper class. I gestate this shows an ignorance to the people below him almost to the extent where one could say that Wells was ashamed or embarrassed to detain in the era that he di d and he portrayed this through the early chapters of The Time Machine.We can place this by looking at the complexity of scientific understanding that Filby and The Time traveler posses. In and around that period in history only the very upper class would be this finely schooled. Further evidence to support this claim of ignorance towards the lower class is that only the high ranking important local figures are present at the introduction and demonstration of the time machine. Such figures include a Provincial Mayor, a psychologist, a medical man and an Editor. These high class figures all well spoken and showed good understanding of the Time Travellers theories.I venture that all this shows that Wells who is portraying his views through the novel is not happy with the scum and diseased era in which he resides but allow do anything to get out into the future. At this point social status played a key part in society and it seems that Wells wants to experience a world with out thi s binding moral code. After the The Time Traveller takes his first dive into the future he encounters a new society in the very distant future. Which for no apparent reason he names the Eloi.This new society functions in very different way to what The Time Traveller is used to. Apparently, the post or even the idea of a household, had vanished. ,Communism I say to myself. These two quotes show The Time Travellers great shock to seeing the corrupting of society, if you could call it society. He reaches the finishing that the human species had eventually evolved so far that they no longer had any need to fend for themselves or graze at all. All work equal in this new commie society and meat was not anywhere on the menu.The Eloi strictly feasted on the fruits that they each harvest when they feel like it from the large fruit tend which is now earth. All reminiscence of architecture and civilization has completed vanished without play along from mankind. The Time Traveller seem s to be disappointed at the simple relaxed society he has entered in the far future. As it seems to him that the all of mankinds history and long evolutionary process has all been for nothing. He found nothing that would please him in this place. I deal that at this point Wells becomes forecastless about what mankinds future could hold.When The Time Traveller sees that man has evolved into simple commie beings his hopes of meeting an advanced modern world are destroyed and he will begin to explore the new world to find nearlything that will give him a reinvestment of hope to keep him motivated. Later on in the story The Time Traveller discovers a second underground race. He draws the conclusion that the Eloi or upper world may have evolved from the at one time favored aristocracy or upper class and the underworld society or The Morlocks by name given by The Time Traveller evolved from the labouring mechanical servants of that very aristocracy.The Morlocks capture and fed on t he Eloi. They hunted in packs and banded together showing the strong social hold similar quest for survival and social gain that the lower classes of Victorian England showed. Discovering the new race did not make The Time Traveller anymore optimistic, in fact this may of even made him even more hopeless than before. Now he has seen the future result of two races evolving to nisus a simple body of simple beings doing nothing more than providing for their necessitate and pleasure. There was no technological advance or social advanced. nearly like the human race had reached a peak many years before The Time Traveller had stopped to examine things and then began to overleap into simple happy communist beings that were all equal. I imply that The Time Travellers terminal view of humanity is not one of hope or optimism, Once again I saw the dim shadows, that were evidence of decadent humanity. This is his terminal point of view, he has seen the end. He has seen what is referred to in the novel as the sunset of mankind. He has nothing to look forward to. He knows that man is one day or another to become extinct.So do we all, but we still have the greatest hope that our final hour wont be so soon. The Time Traveller gives up all hope of ever being able to change the world enough to avoid the terrible decadence of our race. I think it is hard to tell whether Wells is a pessimist or not through the actions and words of his characters. I think The Time Travellers personality is inconsistent. He started out as an optimist with every hope of going forward or back in time and speech or changing humanity for the better. But as The Time Traveller sees more and more of the dim and distant future he becomes a pessimist with nothing in his aspirations.Whereas Filby, has a positive outlook from the onset of the story and in the epilogue gives his opinion and motivational summary to spur on the human race to do well and stay dominant. I think it would be very difficult to decide whether Wells is representing himself through The Time Traveller or through Filby. But I have come to the conclusion that Wells is the optimist with a positive outlook on life. I think this although without the epilogue the book would have an inappropriate cinematic ending it still is the only place, I believe, where Wells has put his true hopes for humanity into the story.I think Wells has used the Time Traveller to convey some of his other views and theories into World. In conclusion I think that Wells would not have described todays modern world as a dystopia. This is because all that humanity has worked for over the years is in effect and benefiting a dope of people. There is still social order and a justice system. Wells final view is one of distant but prosperous hope, and I think so long as the book leads the reader to believe this it will draw their ideal world into a brighter future.
