I was watching the 1964 version of The Time Machine today and was joking with my mom about it... but I actually did come to an interesting theory/weird idea- for those of you who have read The Time Machine or seen the movie, you're familiar with the Eloi and the Morlocks and the talking rings, etc. My theory/weird idea included the fact that the Eloi are the proletariat of the future, and the Morlocks are the bourgeois. It's a metaphor for the exploitation of the proletariat by the bourgeois to the endth degree- cannibalism. However, the biggest difference is that the "proletariat" doesn't do any work at all- they just take what the "bourgeois" give them and go with it willingly. Any thoughts on my randomosity?
