Eloi Dome

An Eloi dome, one of a series of structures that the Eloi inhabit.

The Time Machine 1960 film

The Eloi are one of two posthuman races existing in Mor, the year 802,701 AD. They live aboveground, and like dancing and playing in the sun. They also enjoy making constructions with flowers. They have an intense, but almost subconscious, fear of Morlocks and of the dark.

They are fed, clothed, and otherwise cared for by the Morlocks, who also use them as a food source.

The Time machine 2002 film

In the 2002 movie adaptation of The Time Machine, the Eloi are depicted as identical to modern humans with a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, and appear to be an ethnic amalgamation of brown skin indigenous races. The former movie version depicts the Eloi speaking modern-day English, a fact which contradicts the original novel and the logical timeline of language evolution. In the latter film version, the Eloi maintain the English language as merely an intellectual exercise, calling it "the stone language," as they know of it only from surviving stone inscriptions from our time.
