Discuss The Role Of The Government In Ender And Triffids.

            The government plays a much bigger role in Enders Games than in The Day of the Triffids. In The Day of the Triffids we see in the beginning a possible cause for the manifestation of the triffids. The problem here was that the government wasn't around long enough to reap the bounty of their actions. The majority of them were mostly likely killed never knowing the full extent of their actions on the human populace. .
             Politics created the triffids, that much is known. To produce a more effective vegetable oil the mutant poisonous mobile plants were created; no-one foreseeing the plane explosion that would send their seeds worldwide. Politics was also responsible for the army of orbital missiles that circled the earth, each one holding a more deadly article of germ warfare than the last. In what at first appeared to be a comet shower, these missiles unleashed a plague in the earth's atmosphere, rendering anyone who saw the sky blind. The triffids seemed to be waiting for this chance to break free from their cages and gardens, as if they knew it was coming, and they slowly began to take over the planet. John Wyndham's novel The Day of the Triffids is not only a science fiction novel about Mother Earth fighting back against those that have destroyed her, it also acts as a prophecy: politics as we know it will be our demise. The paradox is thus set up as it is politics that must be our eventual savior.
