The Veldt by Ray Bradbury (1950)
The Kids
Wendy & Peter Hadley:
Heroes or Villains?
You decide.
The Veldt
in a Nutshell
An Alternative Option...
What's the deal with Dr. McClean?
- Peter and Wendy are more villains than heroes, but it's not entirely their fault.
- They are out-of-control and spoiled by their virtual reality.
- Peter and Wendy are essentially tech junkies and juvenile delinquents (minors who commit some act that violates the law).
- a way to remember "McClean" - he's sent in to clean up the mess the parents made
- his take on technology: it causes violence and paranoia (especially in children) - "the room has become a channel toward-destructive thoughts, instead of a release away from them"
The Takeaway
Summary: Parents use technology to spoil their kids—and then the kids use technology to kill their parents.
The Veldt is all about new technology and its hidden costs.
Bradbury cautions (warns) his readers. He writes about how bad America could get if we let gadgets take over our lives.
