How is the society comparable to capitalism, according to the Time Traveler?
After the main protagonist had found the well, he spent much time thinking about what the Morlock's niche was in this society. He concluded that, "...very vaguely there came a suggestion towards the solution of the economic plan that had puzzled me... the gradual widening of the present merely temporary and social difference between the Capitalist and the Labourer, was the key to the whole position."(63-64) This quote allows the reader to fully understand what the Time Traveler is thinking. In the beginning of his trip, he questioned how everything was so self-sufficient; therefore, he indicated communism. But, he never noticed anyone ever working. This new knowledge of the underground civilization allowed him a new conclusion. That the Eloi were the rich capitalist, while the Morlocks were the poor proletariat who had to do all of the work.
