This summary video is very good for someone who needs it but would also like to point out that there were some small details missed that were important and the the “murlocks” are actually in the books words “morlocks”.
Just read the book (for the first time) recently, and I really enjoyed it. Didn't resemble the movies all that much, and I think neither of them really captured the book's narrative; visually, nor in terms of story. The old movie was just.. too 1960 for my taste, and the new one has more of its own take on it, but I don't think it added much to the story (if at all.. it actually ruins much of it). So I still kinda want to see a proper film adaptation. Or maybe an animated movie, because the parts of the book that are in the future really have a sort of dreamlike, mythological feel to them, perhaps better captured in animation (either CG or hand-drawn). I didn't imagine the Eloi to look that human (in the movies, they're really just.. people), but in the book, I got more of a Gelfling type o vibe, although not entirely like that, but still.. a somewhat more Elvish look perhaps, I don't know. It's obvious that Weena really does resemble a child more than anything else, and the entire Weena part of the story actually bothered me more than it probably should have. On the one hand, while reading it, you kinda want the Time Traveler to develop more of real relationship with her, but then, she is really small and innocent, so if there would've been some kind of romantic love there, then that's somewhat problematic now, for obvious reasons. But the book did give me the impression that it was romantic in a very innocent type of way, as they do sleep with each other, and they cuddle, and she seems to adore him in her own way. She resembles a girl, but she really isn't. I think that's why the character is played by an adult woman in both movies; because it allows for this romantic involvement, even though in the books.. it really kinda doesn't, because of her childlike appearance and demeanor. So it's either a romantic involvement, or more of a father-daughter approach, and I think the book leans more towards the latter. And if I were to make a movie about it, I think I would do the father-daughter thing, instead of making it a real love relationship. Just because I think that's truer to the book, and isn't done all that much in storytelling (or movie making). Either way, what bothered the fuck out of me was the Time Traveler's reaction to Weena's demise, assuming she did in fact die - as this wasn't explicitly stated in the book, but was merely implied as the Time Traveler simply assumed that she died. It was almost like he didn't really care all that much, which is just not acceptable, regardless of the type of love they shared. Either one would really require more of an emotional response in my opinion. The Time Traveler, in the book, expresses his feelings regarding her death a couple of times, but I didn't really believe it. So I actually disliked that part of the book specifically. Weena's role is just tossed aside, and the Time Traveler's actions don't really incorporate her, beyond the point of trying to keep her safe during the nights, and trying to protect her in the dark forest.. at which he failed miserably, but just shrugs it off and basically goes: "Oh well, better for her to burn to death than to be taken and eaten by the Morlocks! Alright, now where was I? O yeah, back to finding the machine!!" Why does this piss me off so much? Lol. Maybe it's just due to Wells' writing, like, perhaps he wasn't too comfortable or experienced in writing more dynamic love stories.. I honestly don't know since this was the first and only book I read of his. But it would've been nice if the Time Traveler's priorities somewhat shifted from trying to return to his own time, to trying to look after Weena. But it never even occurs to him, which is why, I think, you don't really buy it when he says that thinking about what happened to her affects him. It could be that as the book comes to an end and the Time Traveler disappears for good, that he went back to the future, to find Weena when she is still alive, and takes her to a safer place, a better time, and cares for her. I'd like to think that that's what he did. The underlying Communism, Capitalism, Upper class and Lower class themes.. those are a bit outdated now. But still, if turned into a film, it would still take place during the time in which it's set in the book, so it would still make sense for the Time Traveler to interpret the world from that social/political point of view, as that was relevant to him. Anyway, I'm rambling. You made a great video by the way. Peace!
I agree with ypy completly expet for the 2 matters. I felt like Weena was more of a pointless character tban anything else. The cuddling felt somewhat forced not really important with any of the plot or moral dilemmas in tbe book. And you're right about Wells not writing any time of relationship between his characters properly, since most of hus work focuses more on the concepts of the story rather than the character's reltionships between one another. It can be seen in empire of ants but I do remeber a short story he wrote about a boy with a suit that had golden button that was oddly emotional. But all in all it's a pretty gold book
@The James Show but it helps me to understand further details and the personality of the time traveler, while I just realized that I have to hand in the book report 2 days later
Just read this recently for fun and I couldn’t put it down once he time traveled. I was so enamored with the world and frightened by the morlocks! If anyone’s having trouble understanding (the prose is pretty difficult) I highly recommend he Barnes and noble classics edition as it has explanations of some of the more difficult words and phrases. Happy reading!
I read this in high school along with the invisible man in a 2 for 1 bundle offer and still remember both stories. Incredible author and superb imagination. The theme of "the apex of communism" flew over my head as I was too young to grasp such big ideas. Thanks for the refresher!
Imagine if you will, a world where everything is automated via means of the internet and our technology. Now if you can imagine that, it should be an easy concept to understand that in a world such as this, there will be only a need for individuals who can maintain said technology (merlocks) everyone else becomes weak and complacent. This is the future which we slowly approach. H.G wells damn near predicted the future.
When you read this book for class for like 2 months and you have a quiz on the whole book tomorrow but you never even paid attention while reading the book in class.
Ryan Cho Well, I'm not in average school in your country. I live in Russia and I attend second school where I study English language. Once per month we are asked to read and summarise it. I'm at Intermediate level if You wonder
I think maybe this wasn't intended to precisely capture the details of the written work. There were a number of things simply fabricated for this animation. The guests aren't as described, the machine isn't as described, and Eloi hair is supposed to be "uniformly curly," just to name a few inconsistencies.
The Traveller asks his guests to picture a cube. A cube has length, width and depth. Yet a cube must also exist for a period of time to be a cube. We overlook this fact due to our nature. For example, if a cube was 1 inch cubed, yet existed for 0 seconds, it is not a cube. If it exists for any fraction of time, even 1 second, then it is a cube. This is the same idea as a line of 0 length not being a line - it's just a concept. He also states that time and space are the same thing. The only difference is that our consciousness progresses along the time axis. Time is a kind of space. He shows a graph of weather readings - the graph itself is a measurement. Since this measurement is not in any of the space dimensions currently thought of, instead, it is of the time dimension. Then they argue if one can travel along the time dimension. The Time Traveller says we can. He argues that gravity weighs us down in the third dimension, but is still traversable.
The story continues in, "The Time Ships", by Stephen Baxter. Most excellent! The middle and end of that book are each 12 times as exciting as the start is boring.

I don’t really understand the ending of the book. Did the time traveler just start traveling again and ended up staying in another time the reason he’s “never seen again”?
my guess is that he wanted to go to the year 800701 again to take pictures, but something went wrong and the time machine broke or something. Hence the "exclamation" and the breaking of glass. And now he is stuck in this time and can never return to the present. Whatever present means. What baffles me is why the Morlocks hid the time travelers machine and then tried to lure him inside the sphinx
I now remember the novel about the tragedy of Weena dying in a wildfire while the time traveler was fighting the Morlocks. I enjoyed entertaining the film George Pal's The Time Machine. Also, the novel "The Time Machine II" by George Pal and Joe Morhaim (published in 1981) was a sequel to the movie of George Pal's "The Time Machine." It was fun to read, and it was paradoxical at the end. The novel "The Time Ships" by Stephen Baxter (published in 1995) was okay. Still, it is hard science fiction, somewhat distorted about date and history, and unrealistic about Morlocks' time travel. I like the novel George Pal's "The Time Machine II" better, and it relates to the movie George Pal's "The Time Machine" as a sequel. The new version of "The Time Machine" starring Guy Pearce (2002) was awful and irrelevant, especially for political correctness and identity politics, including the racial difference between 1960 and 2002. However, the special effect of The Time Machine (2002) was much superior than the1960's "The Time Machine" due to technological innovation in computer graphic effects. George Pal's "The Time Machine" (1960) is the legendary film classic of all-time time-traveling stories.
Guy Pierce's version was literally the best one. The others are dull in character development, and the book in particular shoves political commentary down your throat that it's hard to follow the actual narrative.
@@spawncampe Today's WOKE and diversity politics brought down into your narrow-mindedness, twisted, brainwashed, and hypersensitive. For instance, females turn to strong as masculine, and males turn to fragile as feminine. Heavy political-motivated involvement in Hollywood media influences people's minds under the WOKE and leftist ideological rules. Hollywood media and history revisionism became unrealistic, propaganda, and distorted.

@@ruiplas I listened to the audio book several times and the time traveller's deductions regarding the Eloi and the Morlocks made sense to me. The big problem is chapter 11, where he goes further in time some 30myrs to an Earth where the Sun has grown larger and cooler. We know now that this is not the case.
how is time a human construct if we age and die within always a set time? ...my cat passed away at 17 and i think time had something to do with that... : ( I want him back.
This content is striking. A parallel book I read was equally as invigorating. "Temporal Echoes: Amelia's Odyssey Through Ancestral Shadows" by Vivian Rosewood
problems here. you drew a monkey but called it an ape. Apes don't have a tail. Also i know this is a summary but he makes allot of hypothesis's about this new time he's in but later rejects them as he finds out more. And it's spelt "Morlocks," and he never gets a clear look at them either because its dark or too far away.
According to compass book ratings: Profanity/Language: 4 mild obscenities Violence/Gore: There are several fights involving fists, fire, and iron bars resulting in severe injury or death. A character almost dies several times as a result of actions of denziens of the future, there are 2 scenes that may be considered scary, and there is a recurring subject of cannibalism.
