        <description><![CDATA[It's never explained why they left the valves open in chapter 10 of the novel.  Perhaps they were luring him down into their tunnels so that they could capture him.  Or perhaps that was just a way so that the author could get the Time Traveller back in his time machine.  He had to find a way down there, so the open valves gave him that quick opportunity.  As soon as he makes it to his machine and fights off many morlocks, he is able to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It is ironic in that the Morlocks, savage ape-like beings with pale skin and hair (from living underground), seem to be more intelligent than the Eloi, a apparently more evolved peaceful race of people.  The Morlocks, descendents of Britain's working class, make easy prey of the Eloi (by raising them as livestock for their food) who, finally, are docile to the point of being dull-witted and servile. This is a direct stab at the Darwinist...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Time Traveller's goal for travelling through time and the reasons why he built it are one and the same.  The book was written in the late 19th century, 1895, when H.G. Wells observed that English society was deeply flawed. 

"However, with the industrial revolution and the mass migration of rural laborers into the cities, the differences between the haves and the have-nots became more starkly visible."  

The character of society...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Palace of Green Porcelain has sections in it that are just like a museum.  One section is made up of historical items, while another is a section of paleontology (dinosaur bones, etc). The Time Traveller is excited when he finds machinery in it.  With all of these items, the Time Traveller is able to see a little into the past (as in 800,000 a.d.), which makes it similar to a library.  It is a resource of information for him. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[By discover, I think you mean whether the time machine actually worked.  He built a device that he says will travel through time, and his friends, his dinner companions really don't believe him.  Even after he shows them the demonstration with the miniature time machine.  In order to prove that the machine actually works, the time traveller decides to use the machine and travel forward in time.
His restlessness has two sources, one, he...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In "The Time Machine," H.G. Wells depicts the Eloi, who are the future of the aristocracy, as having grown ignorant from their life of ease. Wells is making a statement about the social classes in Britain in the late 19th century through the Morlocks and the Eloi. 
The aristocracy have turned into lazy, unemotional individuals with no intellectual curiosity, they do not explore their environment, they have no need for work.  They lack the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Eloi are basically "cattle" for the Morlocks in this novel.  Humans over time haveevolved into two separate societies: the Eloi and the Morlocks.  The Eloi live carefree lives during the daylight hours.  They frolic and play all day, eating fruit and lounging around.  At night, they become terrified and sleep in large groups for security.  They represent what the human race used to be.  Over time, they became lazy and lost their...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Since they live underground, they are in need of plenty of oxygen.  In order to keep living comfortably, they need to keep the air flow moving.  This ventilation system helps them to do just that.  Over time, the working class of Morlocks has physically changed.  They've developed (evolved) into having large eyes, white skin, and they fear the light of day.  With these changes, they may also be struggling to breathe as easily as they...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[He has tried the machine because he was desperate to escape his time period.  The Time Traveler builds the machine specifically to leave his time period 1899.  He is looking for a world where there is no violence, no war, he is looking for Utopia.  That is his motivation for using the machine without anyone present in his lab.
The Time Traveler has invited his guests specifically to dinner, so that he can have them together so he can tell...]]></description>
