The theme revolves around mankind and its destructive ways. The aliens that have landed on earth reflect how humans ought to behave with one another. The aliens' altruistic and helpful nature contradict with the selfish and violent nature of the earthlings. The theme revolves around mankind and its destructive ways.

∙ 12y agoWhat is ironical in the story is that "Onns's Journal" not only applies to his race (aliens), but also it applies for humans as well. Another irony as well: in the second extract of "Onns's Journal", Onns said, "they ,may be quite different from us, but we must remember that it is their world, and help them where we can. We must keep in mind that it would be a wicked thing to frustrate even an alien form of life, on its own planet. If we find any such beings, our task must be to teach, to learn, to co-operate with them, and perhaps one day we may achieve a civilization even greater than Forta's own..." In this passage, "it is their world", "help them where we can", "task must be to teach, to learn, to co-operate", "achieve a civilization even greater". All this is ironic because we humans don't think in that way, we refer to other methods than, co-operate, like WAR, ENSLAVEMENT...; in other words we have the need of oppressing others.

Summary of the story on METEOR by john wyndham?
John Wyndham (1903-1969) Meteor While John Wyndham has been described disparagingly as 'the master of the middleclass catastrophe', it can be argued that he uses his settings of comfortable middle England to bring his science fiction stories uncomfortably close to his readers. This is certainly true of perhaps his most famous novel, The Day of the Triffids. The structure of Meteor, juxtaposing two separate but connected narratives, demonstrates this concern, as one of the narratives shows a group of people in a domestic setting examining a strange object, while the second narrative is a scientific journal which includes unfamiliar terms and references. As the story develops, the reader begins to see the connections between the two narratives. The amazingly advanced technology of the visitors is gradually revealed as well as their peaceable intentions, while their perspective on the human world demonstrates not only their puzzlement but gives indications as to their size. Having established this, Wyndham's conclusion of the story is shocking.
