  1. Eat or Be Eaten Elise King Dea Artz Richelle Ridgeway

  2. General Purpose “I wish to explore the hidden dynamics of emotion and logic. Since the semes attached to eating, consumption, and egulfment point in so many directions, I shall start instead with the public ideologies of power, size, and gender” (202) • Kathryn Hume

  3. Let’s break it down…. • POWER • Intelligence • Time traveler felt superior to them because the Eloi lacked intelligence • 19th century mentality • Strength • Having the power to kill the Morlocks • “He see’s himself to having the right to whatever he wants, and cherishes himself for being the only ‘real’ human. And therefore the only creature with rights” (204)

  4. Let’s break it down… • PHYSICAL SIZE • Indicates; what is valuable, good and desirable (great, high, and large) • Men vs. Women • The word “little” is used eight times in one paragraph • “What the narrator thinks, will shape and limit what he hears and see’s” (204) • Time traveler associated the Eloi as children

  5. Let’s break it down… • GENDER • Support superior status of maleness • Defined humanity as Male • Loss of manliness=loss of humanity • Feminizes the Eloi • Lower social status in his eyes

  6. SO WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH EATING OR BEING EATEN? WELLL…….

  7. Cannibalism • Morlock’s eat the Eloi • Strength vs. Intelect • Eating anything • The typical defense against anxiety and stress • “Save me some of that mutton, I’m starving for a bit of that meat” (206-207) • Engulfment • “Within the economy of oral anxieties, the subject eats or is eaten; there is no third way.” (207)
