     <\/p>\n

    Cantor and Hufnagel discuss The Time Machine<\/em> as a novel rooted firmly in a tradition of imperialism. The Traveler, a white European male, journeys to a strange land only to encounter the trope of \u201cthe good tribe\u201d and \u201cthe bad tribe,\u201d ore the Eloi and Morlocks respectively. Their roles are greatly influenced by the differences in appearance between the angelic Eloi and the repulsive Morlocks, but also because of the Traveler\u2019s etic perspective regarding practices such as cannibalism, which he finds morally repugnant. The author\u2019s also claim that the relationship between Weena and the Traveler mirror the common motif of the attraction between the European explorer and Native woman found in many imperialist romances. This discourse explains the way that the humanoids of The Time Machine<\/em> are transformed into racial \u201cothers.\u201d<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Christensen examines the role of race in The Island of Dr. Moreau<\/em> by reading the novel within the framework of the Victorian understanding of race and evolution. The visceral reaction that Pendrick has to the transformed beasts, although he is unable to pinpoint what about their appearances precisely make him so uncomfortable, situates their monstrosity racially since the protagonist not only associates their features with certain stereotypes of racial characteristics, but even goes so far as to initially believe they are not transformed animals and ask Dr. Moreau what race they belong to. Christensen posits that the descriptor \u201cnegroid\u201d is used to describe a human lower on the evolutionary scale than a Caucasian, and thus is indicative of the work Moreau has yet to complete to create the highest achievement in human to animal transformation.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Hodges and Doane argue that Hyde\u2019s monstrosity is actually the result of his blend of femininity and masculinity, rather than Jekyll\u2019s expression of repressed homosexual desires. Since the novel was written during the rise of the New Woman, Hodges and Doane explore the dangerous, violent, and hysterical depiction of femininity, all traits that Hyde exhibits. Hyde\u2019s physically appearance is also suggestive of femininity, as he is small and has a \u201clight step.\u201d The author\u2019s of the article also point out that Hyde is often aligned with women who demonstrate some type of deviance, such as the women described as harpies who attack him and old woman with the evil face.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          Mazlish juxtaposes The Coming Race<\/em> with She<\/em> and \u201cThe Interpretation of Dreams\u201d to arrive at the conclusion that the Bulwer-Lytton\u2019s novel portrayal of the Vril-ya as a racial other reveals the influence of the Victorian fear of reverse colonization. While the Vril-ya are not repulsive in their appearance, Mazlish notes that their imposing stature and ability to strike fear into the heart of the protagonist contribute to their depiction as a race that is ultimately a threat to humanity. Since the Vril-ya believe that they are predestined to come to the surface and wipe out inferior races, the terror they impart, along with their physical stature, may define them as monstrous.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Parrinder compares representations of human transformation in The Time Machine<\/em> as well as Kafka\u2019s The Metamorphosis<\/em> to support the claim that the novels, rather than approaching evolution as an exciting and promising concept, instead offer the idea of a world with limits with few progressive evolutionary possibilities. Parrinder suggests that regression of human race in The Time Machine<\/em> is a counterbalance to the high expectations for scientific discovery, and that we are to understand the world of the Morlocks and Eloi as an ending, rather than beginning, or even middle, based on their monstrosity. The author also claims that the Time Traveler\u2019s attitude towards the Eloi becomes more and more disillusioned with their humanity, suggesting that current humans occupy a stratus superior to the new humanoids in every way.<\/p>\n

              Pordzik critically revisits The Time Machine\u2019s<\/em> Traveler\u2019s interactions with the Morlocks and Elois and attempts to determine their degree of humanity. Pordzik argues that apart from the Traveler\u2019s own assumptions, there is no solid evidence that the two species are descendants of humans, making the Traveler\u2019s alignment with the Eloi an act of vanity, as he wishes to associate his humanity with the Eloi\u2019s innocence and beauty. Meanwhile, the Morlock\u2019s deserve contempt and revulsion because they are physically unattractive. Pordzik cites the Traveler\u2019s reactions as evidence of society\u2019s fetishism of beautiful bodies, which he discusses as having racial overtones.<\/p>\n

                Sanna asserts that The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde<\/em> explores the tension created by the repression of male homosexuality in the Victorian era. Jekyll\u2019s claim that the acts he commits as Hyde are \u201cunspeakable\u201d not only implies the taboo of homosexuality, but also the monstrosity that characterizes his other self. Similarly, all of the characters\u2019 inability to describe Hyde\u2019s appearance in detail adds to his aura of mystery, implying that he is concealing something that is causing their revulsion, something not outwardly visible, like his \u201cperverse\u201d sexuality. Ultimately, Hyde\u2019s horrific appearance is a symptom of his marginalized position in Victorian society.<\/p>\n

                  Nov. 2014.<\/p>\n

                   <\/p>\n

                  Zack argues that The Island of Dr. Moreau<\/em> and its film adaptations enforce a racial binary from which the white male emerges as an example of intelligence, control, and morality, while the human-animal hybrids represent the supposed racial inferiority of weak-willed, violent, and corruptible people of color. Zack claims that one of the underlying messages of the novel is that the animalistic beings may aspire to humanity, but can never achieve it, a struggle analogous for the \u201cdesire\u201d of non-white people to emulate white Europeans. Although Edward is at times sympathetic to the plight of the monsters on the island, he eventually is forced to assert his racial superiority over them in order to control their gradual descent into more and more animalistic behavior, which excuses the poor treatment of the hybrids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
