Hello friend,
Basically, you are being asked to say something about what academics call "the historical context" of the novel. The novel was written and published at a particular time in history, and so it reflects some of the concerns of its time. So your answer might start by saying that the 'message' of the book would have been understood differently in 1895 Britain than in 2012 USA. Wells was writing at the end of a long period of industrialization, and his novel reflected the split between the urban industrial working people and the rest of society. But his themes are still relevant today in different ways - his portrayal of an underground-living technical race and the happy Eloi could be seen as reflected in the sharp split between our own techie Internet culture, and all those who unthinkingly live on the fruits of that techie culture, for instance.
Hope this helps!

The time machine is a science fiction novel by H.G.WELLS , published in 1895 and written as a frame narrative.it reflects some of the concerns of its time.The Time Traveler notices early on that there are no weak and enfeebled to be seen amongst the Eloi and he later determines that the Morlocks feed off their above ground cousins. The Morlocks seem to hunt their food at night since their bodies have adapted to living in the dark depths of the Earth. This would explain Weena's extreme fear of dark places and also why the Eloi sleep in large groups.
