Abstract: | This project entitled “Cultural Clash and Traumatic Experiences: A Deep Explication of The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells” is an attempt to analyze traumatic experiences collectively faced by the British people due to sudden and random envasion of the Martians. It also examines the traumatic experiences of British colonized people and the Martians themselves. The all-engulfing and wide-spreading warfare waged by the Martians is presented as their attempt to replace the well-established British culture and civilization with their own without compromising and leaving any trace. Mad with their superior complex, the Martians attack Britain and inflict untold pain, suffering, torture and misery to the common people. The so-called technologically advanced and sophisticated civilization of the Martians has nothing to offer to people except unbearable and intolerable traumatic experiences. Moreover, it also probes to examine the underlying causes and dreadful consequences of the cultural warfare between two alien races – the Martians and human beings. |
