        <description><![CDATA[The Time Traveler builds the time machine for the specific purpose of traveling to the future to find a world where there is no war, where people are equal, where man lives in harmony with the environment.  Writing this book in 1895, Wells was very critical of the advancing Industrial Revolution that he believed widened the class gap between the very rich and the very poor.
The working class was exploited, according to Wells, to fuel the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The time traveller starts to tell his guests his story in Chapter 2, but it goes all the way to Chapter 10.
The dinner guests are invited to the Time Travellers for the following Thursday, at which time, they will gather without him.  He has left instructions that they are to start dinner without him if he did not appear by 8:00 O'clock.
When he arrives in the dining room, his guests are astonished to see him, his clothes are torn and dirty,...]]></description>

        <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[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>
