Aim-Tina:

Robert Lloyd Perry described him as: “ H G Wells was a founder member of the Fabian society - he was definitely interested in the way society works and the divisions within society” (Cronshaw). He worked to inform his audience throug h his, primarily fictional, writing. He also used his own knowledge and schooling to aid in teach people about items and situations that they have not even waltzed upon yet. Many of his novels revolved around science fiction that branched into many situations and inventions that came upon society years after his novels were written and published. The Guardian explained his book,The Island of Doctor Moreau, as, “to parody the work of the Creator of the human race, and cast contempt upon the dealings of God with his creatures” (“HG Wells Biography).

Audience-Connor:

HG Wells was a science fiction novelist which had a wide range of audiences. To determine the audience of a writer is like trying to determine whether or not everyone likes a certain song. The person hasn’t heard the song, they might not know. However, most people in his audience might have stemmed from his plugs from magazines. “This was also the period when he began writing essays and sketches for journals, including the Pall Mall Gazette” (EGS). These magazine articles that he made might have drew in some audience members from all over the globe. However, saying his audience is completely unfindable is arguable. Some describe his work as being deeper, critical thinking-- one writing “ it’s a multi-purpose central focus for the audience” (Cronshaw). Therefore, making it so that HG Well’s audience members are those with a craving for critical, outbound thinking compared to the average action adventure book. HG Wells questions society and population, which draws thinkers in.
