Jimmy Goggles The God

Jimmy Goggles the God by H. G. Wells is a satirical short story blending humor and social critique. The tale follows three friends—Treherne, James, and Borker—who salvage a pearl diver’s suit, dubbing it “Jimmy Goggles.” During a yachting trip, Treherne dons the suit to explore a sunken ship but is mistaken for a deity by an island tribe. Revered as a god, he exploits his newfound status, demanding riches and obedience. However, his actions lead to unintended consequences, exposing the absurdity of colonial exploitation and blind worship. Wells uses sharp wit to critique imperialism, greed, and the clash of cultures, while exploring themes of identity and power. A blend of adventure and irony, Jimmy Goggles the God offers a thought-provoking yet entertaining commentary on human folly and societal dynamics.
