You should remember the character by their job not thier name. I think there is going to be comparisons from thier jobs and how they percieve this whole time machine buisness with the professions of the future and the past.

This goes back to the idea that Juliet was talking about, names are really not important it is deeds and what one does that makes them recognizable. Another reason why the narrator chose not to use names is because from the beginning of the story we can obviously tell the difference in career by the way that each person talks. So by naming them by their profession it would make them much easier to recognize from their comments. The final reason that I thought H.G.Wells made the narrator call the characters by their profession is because names are confusing. What I mean by this is that no matter how well you remember something you can't remember all of the details and maybe H.G. Wells didn't want the narrator to mess up the retelling of this story.

I'm thinking maybe the author wanted us to think that their is some reason to protect the people by not saying their names. This makes it seem like a true event that occurred, and now the people need protection. The speaker says on page 8, "I had been jammed in a corner with a gentleman who shall be disguised as Filby." By using the word "disguised" this idea is even more reasonable. ~Erin C. =] I think that Taran is partially right with saying that the narrator wants us to remember the people by their professions rather than their names, but I believe that there is something else to this.

He wants to contrast the jobs of the present to the ones of the future. He may want us to focus on time as a whole rather than us know the people of "this" time and "that" time. He may want us to look at every time as one time. The narorator may just not know everybodies names, but I beieve more in the first theory. -Taran Ok I think that the speaker wants us to rember the people by there jobs rather than their names.
