Answer :
In The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, the Time Traveller originally assumed about the relationship between the Eloi and the Morlocks that :
The Eloi were masters and the Morlocks were their servants.
According to Wikipedia, 'Deducing that the Morlocks have taken his time machine, he explores the Morlock tunnels, learning that due to a lack of any other means of sustenance, they feed on the Eloi. His revised analysis is that their relationship is not one of lords and servants but of livestock and ranchers. The Time Traveller theorizes that intelligence is the result of and response to danger; with no real challenges facing the Eloi, they have lost the spirit, intelligence, and physical fitness of humanity at its peak.'
