The bachelor thesis focuses on human individual in the fiction prose of the father of science fiction Herbert George Wells, particularly on the way the individual is described by Wells, and the relationship between the individual and the society in which he lives. The paper closely analyses the evolution of individual characters, their role in the story and the perception of individualism in the context of technical development, which is an essential part of each fictional world of H. G. Wells. The paper also illustrates methods which are used by individual characters to take advantage of their development and acquired knowledge within their community and organized society.
