Storyline
The Time Traveller travels far into the future, arriving in the year 802,701 AD. He finds himself in a seemingly idyllic world, where humanity has evolved into two distinct species: the childlike and gentle Eloi, who live in small communities aboveground, and the savage and nocturnal Morlocks, who dwell underground and emerge at night.
Initially, the Time Traveller is charmed by the Eloi but soon discovers their vulnerability and helplessness. He witnesses a Morlock attack and realizes that the Morlocks prey on the Eloi, using them as a source of food. Captured by the Morlocks, the Time Traveller manages to escape with the help of a young Eloi woman named Weena.
Continuing his journey through time, the Time Traveller discovers that humanity’s future becomes increasingly bleak. He witnesses the gradual decline of civilization, with future eras marked by war, strife, and the ultimate death of the Earth. The Time Traveller barely manages to escape these perilous encounters and returns to his own time, shaken by his experiences.
In the end, the Time Traveller recounts his remarkable journey to his skeptical friends, who remain divided in their beliefs about his adventures. Despite their doubts, the Time Traveller is left to ponder the implications of his experiences and the nature of humanity’s future.
