Realising the Eloi don't understand him and he is damaging his position with them, he continues his search in desperation during the night before relenting and falling into an uneasy sleep.

The Eloi, the descendants of the leisured classes, have become child-like androgynous creatures, weak and unable to fend for themselves.
Leaving the world of the Eloi behind him, with Weena dead, he finds himself standing on the shore of a dead sea, even further in the future....
The film ends happily, with the traveller returning to the future to be reunited with the Weena whose life he has saved, and with a race of Eloi who have new hope, in a world without the Morlocks, destroyed in the subterranean fires.

The Eloi had no machinery or appliances of any kind, yet they were clothed in pleasant fabric and their sandals were fairly complex specimens of metalwork.
Though written in the late 1800s, Wells' descriptions of the weak Eloi and the predatory subterranean Morlocks are rooted in scientific hypotheses that are at once interesting, feasible and frightening possibilities for humanity's future.

 THE TIME MACHINE
This 1960 version will have literary purists fuming, even though it doesn't take as much liberties as George Pal did with a previous H.G. Wells movie adaptation, namely 1953's War of the Worlds.) Wells' Darwinist comments involving labour and capital evolving into separate races are diluted in favour of romance and adventure.
The Eloi are a vacant lot, looking like the kids from Village of the Damned would probably have looked like had they grown up.
In contrast, the Morlocks are blue skinned hairy monsters that toil beneath the earth, keeping the Eloi in their luxurious lifestyle.

The graceful and attractive Eloi, whom Wells's protagonist at first glance believes to be the masters of this future world, turn out to be the mere sheep or cattle of the Morlocks.
The reader had sent me an e-mail relating to the "Eloi," which made me think of posting my own item on the Eloi, but I wanted to use his e-mail as an introduction, which included the reference to people who describe Hitler as tragic.
I have a suspicion that Eloiness, especially in men (who one has the impression are affected more seriously by this condition than women) may be a direct consequence of the prevailing belief that there is no such thing as excessive sexual self-indulgence.

That machinary is in place to perpetuate the easy life that the Eloi have apparently enjoyed for generations.
The Eloi are then the descendants of the leisure class, seemingly exisiting in simple luxury thanks to the efforts of the Morlocks.

While a recipe provides instructions to a cook, source code is a device, like embedded circuitry in a telephone, that actually does the function of encryption.
Only one of the dangerously ignorant Morlocks could believe that; the Eloi are the ones who know that computer programs, including source code, is simply a string--or stream--of binary digits.

 Medieval Painting of Saints Helena & Eloi, with blacksmith's tools, Broughton, Bucks,   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
All of these, shown here against a squared pattern suggesting a chequered floor, are attributes of St. Eloi, who was a flsmith and goldsmith in his earlier life, before he became eventually bishop of Noyon in France.
Although she is painted as a youthful virgin here, Helena, born a pagan, became a Christian only in her sixties, and proved exceptionally devout and generous to churches and to the poor.
I know of no specific connection between her and St. Eloi that would account for their pairing at Broughton, but it may be that since Eloi was a particularly eloquent denouncer of vestigial paganism, both saints were seen as defenders of Christianity.

Refusing to accept the Eloi's calm acceptance of their fate, Alexander ventures down into the Morlock underground stronghold to rescue Mara.
This version also expends more depth on the Eloi culture, adding a nod toward future linguistic evolution and the interesting notion that humanity of the future has evolved darker skin pigmentation.
It is pumped up with action sequences featuring animatronic Morlocks rampaging through the Eloi camp, fights around the weather vane memorial and a big climactic destruction of the Morlock complex.
