Quote
"So man is born, so he begins to wonder. He wonders why the sun goes on day after day, and the moon comes on at night, wonders where the mist comes from, and whither the wind goes. He is the first of the animals to become aware of such things as these. He becomes the questioning animal."
Notes
Wells uses the comet as a metaphorical device to examine social and political issues of his time, including class disparities, war, and the potential for societal transformation. "In the Days of the Comet" is a thought-provoking exploration of utopian ideals and the challenges inherent in creating a better world.
