王昱辉The major contradiction described in "The Time Machine" is the conflict between the two future races that the Time Traveller encounters. The Eloi, who live on the surface of the earth, are small and weak, and seem to have no ambition or curiosity. They live in a seemingly idyllic society, but are also preyed upon by the Morlocks, who live underground and are brutish and violent. The Time Traveller initially assumes that the Eloi are the descendants of the upper class, and the Morlocks the descendants of the working class, but he eventually discovers that the Eloi are actually descendants of the leisure class, and the Morlocks the descendants of the working class who were forced to live underground to maintain the machinery that the Eloi depend on. This contradiction reflects Wells' concern about the growing divide between the rich and poor in England at the time, and his fear that the working class would be oppressed and exploited by the leisure class.

许跞含The degradation phenomenon described by Wells is exactly in line with Darwin's theory of evolution, which is a subversive description of the future world, presenting the sadness of human decline and the desolation of the end of the world. 2. The degraded societies of the Eloi and the Morlocks were one of the manifestations of the degradation that followed the highest level of entropy increase. These two groups of people have lost their social functions and have neither established strong social organizations nor the desire to establish such organizations. They are happy to seek their own way of survival in the unorganized, undisciplined and unideal free and loose state. 3. The two types of Earth people described by Wells are both reflections of the social conditions of the time in which the author lived, predicting the possible decline and demise of human society after its high development in a science fiction way. Human evolution and entropy increase is a contradictory phenomenon in the development of human society. The development of civilization and the progress of science and technology may be at the cost of the degradation of human nature. 4. Wells warned human society that when human civilization is highly developed and perfected, human energy, passion and creativity will gradually deteriorate, along with the lack of conscience, moral decline, the collapse of social structure and the loss of the achievements of civilization. 5. The higher the development of science and technology, the greater the existential crisis of mankind will be. Therefore, in the Time Machine, Wells sounded the alarm for the development of modern society in the form of science fiction, reminding people to pay attention to the dual construction of material civilization and spiritual civilization in the process of development, or they will repeat the mistakes of Eloi and Morlock. 6. The Time Machine is also a science fiction fable about the decline of the empire. Wells wanted to warn the people of the empire that Britain would not be at the top of its game forever and that sooner or later it would decline.
