The Veldt Literary Analysis

In the story, “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury, a family spoils their children with futuristic technology in a super futuristic home. The parents are at fault for their own death because they spoil their kids with too much technology. Early the story, we see George, the father, was supposed to look at the nursery and he discovers a lion. He decides that he needs to turn off the house. And Peter the son says, “I wish you were dead!” This shows that the kids wanted their parents gone because of the technology their parents got them.

At the end of the story, the kids prefer the technology because it is more fun. The kids didn’t want the house turned off because they were addicted. One night, Peter ultimately decides he wants his parents gone.
He hacks into the virtual room and makes it so the parents can’t access it. The kids trick their parents and they think it isn’t going to hurt them, but in reality it is. “Don’t let them switch off the nursery and the house,” says Peter, the son. This proves that the kids prefer the technology over the parents.
