How does h.g.wells present a negative view on the future in ' the time machine'?

Answer 1

Primarily by the example of a separation of humanity into 2 types of creatures; the predatory, parasitic, and cannibalistic Morlock, and the docile, mindless cattle, the Eloi.

The Time Machine was a commentary of the nature of societies wherein dominion becomes the primary paradigm, instead of community. When the Propaganda machines of a theocracy (control of the many, by the few, though irrational beliefs) gets to steamrollering any realities that get in its way, then the dominion of the powerful few can prevail over the many, who are dis-empowered, because they've been made to be intentionally unaware and misinformed.

Much the same as is happening again today.

Answer 2

H.G. Wells presents a negative view of the future in "The Time Machine" through his portrayal of the Eloi and Morlocks. The Eloi represent a decadent and weak future society, lacking in curiosity and drive, while the Morlocks symbolize technological and societal degradation. The division between these two groups highlights Wells' concerns about class struggle and the potential consequences of unchecked industrialization on society.
