The Time Machine


Later, the reflection of how the Time Traveler felt on his visit to the future. Finally, he shows how to change the future; the Time Traveler returning back in time to make it better. " The Time Machine is a bleak and sober vision of man's place in the universe." (Hillegas p 200) The story begins at a dinner party at the Time Traveler's house. The inventor of a time machine explains to his guests the principles on which his time machine is based. He tells them the relationship of time and space. In his theory there was not only three dimensions, but four, and he can prove it. To the amazement of his guests he asks one of them to pull one of the levers on his model machine and it disappeared. He says that the model moved back in time so fast that it was invisible for the eye to see. When the Time Traveler came back to the present, he gives his dilemma of proving his traveling. He shows the flowers Weena gave him. The Medical Man examined it and said that he did not recognize it. Asking if he can keep them, the Time Traveler replied no to his wish. When the Time Traveler traveled to the future he noticed that the life in the year eight hundred and seven hundred and one AD was a lot different than the nineteenth century. The earth seemed to be missing animal life, diseases, and the advancement of man. The future of man was almost primitive again. The people he met had no common language he recognized so he had to communicate through signs. The people were vegetarians and only ate fruit because all other animals were extinct on the earth for some unanswerable reason. The Time Traveler noticed that the Eloi (what the people called themselves) were very frail, tired quickly, and had a short attention span just like a two year old. As evolution evolved man, they needed not to be strong and very intelligent because there is no war or confrontation. Among the people he met a girl named Weena which he rescued from drowning who was a new friend and a guide through this mysterious world.
