How so? The Eloi live in the light, carefree, contributing nothing while the morlocks toil in the darkeness, maintain the machinery that allows the Eloi to maintain their lifestyle. The price being everyonce in a while the morlocks crawl out of the underground and eat one of the Eloi.
Hell, St. Luigi might as well be the patron saint of morlocks.
One might want to actually read the book. It’s literally the father of dystopian fiction
Neither. The entire point is civilization has evolved (or digressed) to the point where one group does the work and maintains the machinery in exchange for food, while the other reaps the disproportionate benefits while supplying one resource the other depends on for survival.
For a more modern interpretation I guess we could say the morlocks have control they just don’t realize it. Something something seize the means of production?
Control was the wrong word. Who is in power through domination? This is the weakness of analogies, I got the basic jest of your initial comparison, it just had too many other things wrong with it to make it work well.
Replace the matrix with H.G. Wells “The Time Machine”. We are Morlocks, the Billionaires are the Eloi, and brother, we are getting hungry
Nice try, CIA.
That’s a bad analogy, and if anything you have the two mixed up.

I’ve read the book numerous times, also seen both movies. Who is in control?
