Who is the hero in the time machine by hg wells?

Answer 1

The lead character who in the book is nameless and always referred to as the Time Traveller- we never learn his name. There are two future races- the intellectual Eloi and the heavy=duty and dangerous Morlocks- they are not really described as people . oddly the whole novel has a strong anti-social angle- stemming in part from its anonymous hero.

Answer 2

The hero- or lead character, is nameless in the tale,but is referred to always as the Time Traveller. I read this book when I was a kid and it shocked me. I wondered why Mr. Wells made his lead character anonymous. this is light-years removed from, say (Everyman) or (Lone Ranger) which had religious and western settings. It just struck me as strange. a good movie adaptation- that keeps the time travel angle secret until the last few minutes- is World Without End. it is very similar to Never So Few and rumor has it the Overlord ( or superintendent of the Aliens- who are really future earthlings!- mistress was- you guessed it... Gina Lollobrigida. she looks and talks like Gina and one character even makes a crack about her legs being bowlegged- later dredged up by Peter Lawford on the Johnny Carson show in l978. World Without end was made in l954 with Hugh Marlowe as the lead actor.

Answer 3

The Lead character is the nameless one-track Time Traveller. In one of the movies he is given a Germanic -sounding name.( Warner Bros one). Why Wells did this-I cannot figure out. It has overtones of fantasy and dreamtime- like the good-guy monsters in Wizard of Oz (scarecrow- etc) and closer to home The Lone Ranger. I don"t like it.

Answer 4

The Main Characters are:

• Margaret (Meg) Murry
• Charles Wallace Murry
• Calvin (Cal) O'Keefe

Answer 5

We cannot tell. He never introduces himself by name, nor does anyone ever introduce or address him. The story is not about him anyway, but about the Time Traveler.
