Analysis Of Ray Bradbury's 'The Veldt'

Some individuals make thoughtful decisions that make their life better for the long term. However, others make impulsive decisions that will come to harm them in the future. Peter and Wendy are two characters in Ray Bradbury’s short story, “The Veldt” that make inconsiderate decisions. Peter and Wendy make the decision to kill their parents when the nursery is endangered.

George and Lydia made the decision to give up their parental responsibility. George and Lydia made the decision to have Peter and Wendy raised in a technologically advanced home. Their mother rethought the decision that she made when she became aware that Peter and Wendy have been playing too much in the Veldt. The parents were suspicious of the children when they sensed the reality of the “heat”, the “vultures” and the “screams” in the playroom. George and Lydia decided the time has come for the nursery to be shut down a few days. When the technology in the playroom makes the decision to refuse George’s commands, George decides to close the “fool room” forever.
