InfluenceThomas Huxley, a famous biologist and teacher of HG Wells, once said that "We live in a world full of misery and ignorance, and the simple duty of each of us is try to make the little corner that he can influence a little less miserable and a little less ignorant than it was before he entered it" (Zaadz). In other words, we all have a duty to make the world a better place by leaving our influence on others. At some point in our lives, we have all had someone or something close to us that has left its influence on us and HG Wells is no different. His short story, The Time Machine, was inspired by various features of Wells' family and social life. The book in turn influenced many others around the world. Society and the surrounding environment greatly influenced HG Wells in The Time Machine, which in turn influenced other human beings. The Time Machine, although science fiction, had many real perspectives in the life of HG Wells. HG Wells had many events and people around him whose influences were seen in TheTime Machine. The first thing a person takes inspiration from is their loved ones, and so did HG Wells. His family background, with reference to his mother and father, and his own upbringing are clearly visible in the main characters of the book. HG Wells was born into a lower-middle class family and class-dominated society in 1966. During that time, the first thing that would be established between a newly hired servant and her mistress is the name to which the servant goes is required to respond. The employee could not respond unless the name suited the position for which she was hired; for example, a humble person had to respond to humble names. Anthony West explains that his "father always had a tin ear in this region, and his more refined admirers often complained of the little flaw which enabled him to give his women such horrible names - poor Weena of The Time Machine is a privileged case" (West, 370). Weena is the only character in the entire novella who has a name; all other characters are known by their initials or their occupation. There hasn't been a specific reason in past documents like
