Changes view of Eloi as fragile beings; sees them as lazy from "summary" of The Time Machine by H. G. Wells
The Time Traveller's perception of the Eloi shifted drastically during his time spent with them in the future. Initially, he viewed them as delicate and fragile beings, seemingly incapable of defending themselves against any threat. Their soft features and lack of physical strength led him to believe that they were a weak and vulnerable species, in need of protection and care.
However, as the Time Traveller delved deeper into the society of the Eloi, he began to see a different side to them. Despite their apparent physical fragility, he noticed that they led a life of leisure and ease, spending their days in idleness and pleasure. Their lack of motivation to engage in any meaningful or productive activity struck him as laziness, rather than a result of their vulnerability.
The contrast between the Eloi's supposed fragility and their laziness puzzled the Time Traveller, prompting him to reconsider his initial impression of them. He questioned whether their perceived weakness was a facade, masking a deeper issue of apathy and indifference towards their own survival and well-being.
As the Time Traveller continued to observe the Eloi, he couldn't shake off the feeling that their lack of drive and ambition was not merely a characteristic of their physical fragility, but a fundamental aspect of their nature. Their unwillingness to exert themselves or strive for improvement painted a picture of a society content to live in a state of perpetual stagnation, devoid of any desire for progress or growth.
The Time Traveller's evolving understanding of the Eloi as not just fragile beings, but also lazy individuals, challenged his preconceived notions about them. It forced him to reevaluate his assumptions and consider the possibility that their perceived weakness was not a result of their physical limitations, but a reflection of their mental and emotional state. This newfound perspective opened up a new dimension of inquiry for the Time Traveller, as he sought to unravel the mysteries underlying the Eloi's society and behavior.
