In what ways does the relationship between the Morlock and Eloi societies constitute a critique of capitalism,class society, classism, and/or the notion of economic prosperity?

For this Research Essay, you will be applying a critical perspective to one of our course texts: Wells’s The Time Machine, Ballard’s High–Rise, Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness, Russ’s The Female Man, or Delany’s Babel
The critical perspectives available to you are Marxist, feminist, or deconstructive, as defined and
explained by Lois Tyson. While this Research Essay differs from traditional research tasks in that the scholarly sources (Tyson’s articles) have been provided for you, you will nevertheless need to read and study these sources closely in order to successfully apply the concepts, methods, and critical lenses contained in Tyson’s writing. (NOTE: No additional research beyond Tyson’s articles will be required.)
