The Time Machine was the first full-length work of fiction of Wells, focusing heavily on the concept of time travel. In the veils of metaphor, however, Wells describes a social reality of 19th century England, or rather presents a universal social reality where there is always a strong and a weak community to create a hierarchical society (Bergonzi 2016).
