The Day of the Triffids is a 1951 science fiction novel by John Wyndham, arguably the most famous of the British author's so-called "cosy catastrophes".The book's narrator is an Englishman named Bill Masen, who details how some years previously the eponymous carnivorous plants mysteriously began appearing all over the world, eventually proving to be capable of movement and possessing the ability to attack and kill humans with their venomous stings before feeding on them; Masen's own theory is that they were deliberately bioengineered in the Soviet Union and then accidentally released into the wild, but the truth is never revealed. Whatever their origin, the plants are also discovered to produce a high-quality vegetable oil, and so an entire industry grows up around farming them. Masen works as a researcher on a Triffid farm, and winds up in the hospital after a Triffid stings him on the face. With his eyes bandaged, he misses a bizarre meteor shower that lights up the night skies all over the world.Come morning, Masen discovers that the shower has struck blind everyone who viewed it. (He later speculates that the shower was actually a malfunctioning orbital weapons system, but again no proof is to be found one way or the other.) Wandering through a disintegrating London, he meets and soon falls in love with a sighted novelist named Josella Playton, who'd missed seeing the "meteor shower" because she was sleeping off an unfortunate party experience.While the Triffids rapidly break free of their farms and begin wiping out the blinded population, Masen and Playton become entangled in the squabbles of other sighted survivors, leading to their unwilling separation. They are finally reunited at a small estate in the English countryside, taking up farming in a fenced enclave surrounded by hordes of Triffids. When a despotic new government appears on the scene, they join a colony of more freedom-minded individuals on the Isle of Wight, researching for the day they can defeat the Triffids and reclaim the Earth for humanity.In 2001, author Simon Clark wrote a sequel novel entitled The Night of the Triffids, which attempted to be a pastiche of Wyndham's style, and details the adventures of Bill and Josella's son.The novel has been adapted for the screen three times, first by a very loosely-adapted 1962 feature film; then by a 1981 BBC miniseries which, while low-budget, is quite faithful to the original work; and once more by the BBC in 2009, again with the plot deviating a great deal from the novel. There were also radio drama adaptations made by the BBC in 1957, 1968, and 2001. | |

Apocalypse Anarchy | |
The Day of the Triffids / int_1865f13a | comment |
After most of the world's population goes blind, Michael Beasley (whose age is estimated to be between thirty-five and fifty) gathers a group of mostly sighted people to retreat to an island and rebuild society amidst the Apocalypse Anarchy. He's separated from the main characters soon afterward, but the success of his efforts is later described secondhand. | |

Defeat Means Friendship | |
The Day of the Triffids / int_19769f50 | comment |
Defeat Means Friendship: Played with in that it's not Coker himself who's overcome, but rather his philosophy; he and Bill become fast friends after his gambit comes to nothing. There's perhaps a degree of expedience to this forgiveness as well: both men are smart enough to realise that enmity After the End is a waste and that demonstrably useful allies who, whatever their flaws, can be reasoned with are a precious resource. | |

The Day of the Triffids / int_19df659c | comment |
Gone Horribly Wrong The Triffids are implied to have been genetically engineered, and made to survive in very inhospitable environments. It's also implied that the 'meteorite storm' was in fact a satellite weapon that collided with something, and not only caused blindness but might have had something to do with the sudden outbreaks of viruses and diseases. | |

Cosy Catastrophe | |
The Day of the Triffids / int_1dab76ed | comment |
Cosy Catastrophe: Despite the novel being called the Trope Maker of this genre by fellow science-fiction author Brian W. Aldiss, ''Day of the Triffids" actually averts a lot of the trope's conventions. Bill actually has a pretty dangerous and rough life after the apocalypse, even as a sighted person. He can't stay in one place lest he be seized by the non-sighted people who will use him as a slave, and the triffids themselves constantly prove a deadly threat throughout the book. When he finally reaches the farm of Josella's friends and they all live there for several years eking out a life from the land, it's incredibly tough to keep things going as they have to support themselves just as much on supplies from rapidly disintegrating cities as they do from farming, plus they also have to keep finding ways to stop the triffids from getting past the fences protecting the farm. By the end of the book, and even before the threat of being conscripted by a despotic new government arises, they've decided to decamp to a colony on the Isle of Wight. | |

Genre Deconstruction | |
The Day of the Triffids / int_23e32a30 | comment |
Genre Deconstruction: The author takes the general "survive the Zombie Apocalypse" horror story (using plants instead of zombies or nuclear war), and extends it forward for several years, becoming one of the first major works to treat the issue of Apocalyptic Logistics seriously. Quite simply...scavenging for canned food in the ruins of major cities is not a viable survival strategy on an extended time scale. Crowds of blind people scavenge in the early days, but there's a finite supply of canned food and they run out eventually. Nor do the more lucky survivors simply flee to a pastoral existence raising their own crops in the countryside. The author repeatedly underlines the point that even those who survived long enough to plow their own fields, need to learn how to forge their own iron to make their own plows. If they're just scavenging old plows, they're not much better than the blind people scrabbling for cans in ruined shops. The entire set of interconnected relationships that are required for civilization are needed for long-term survival. | |

Dated History | |
The Day of the Triffids / int_3e8c87a3 | comment |
Dated History: Some editions of the novel (and the 1981 TV adaptation) suggest that controversial Soviet biologist Trofim Lysenko may be the inventor of the triffids. While an appropriate Mad Scientist, in reality Lysenko was a crank whose "theory" rejected natural selection and even genetics in favour of a mixture of Lamarckism and ideologically-motivated Blatant Lies, and would have been rightly consigned to the dustbin of crackpottery in the Twenties if Stalin hadn't been taken in by it. | |

Everyone Knows Morse: On seeing a lit building in the otherwise uninhabited countryside, Masen sends a 'V' in morse using a portable searchlight. The inhabitants know morse well as per this trope, and respond with a detailed message... which he has no idea how to translate, because the only morse singals he knows are 'V' and 'SOS'. So he flashes back a few more 'V's for good measure and starts driving towards them. | |

The Day of the Triffids / int_4e0b7617 | comment |
We Just Need to Wait for Rescue: The primary source of conflict in the first third of the story. There are two notable groups of survivors of the blindness; one is trying desperately to keep those blinded alive until some official relief effort arrives, while another has deduced that there's not going to be one and that they need to get the hell out of London while they still can. A deadly plague renders the question academic after a few weeks, but the second group were quite right. Also cited by those convinced that aid will come from the United States, failing to realise the disaster is worldwide. | |

Zombie Gait The blind, who are shuffling around mindlessly pawing at things and wailing — they were sighted a few hours ago and with no experience in living without it or anyone to help, they're stumbling around in the dark. Subverted towards the end of the book by the original inhabitants of the farmhouse, particularly Dennis, who is determined not to let his blindness imprison him. The Triffids themselves lurch slowly about using their three "legs". | |

Zombie Apocalypse | |
The Day of the Triffids / int_60414102 | comment |
Zombie Apocalypse: While Triffids aren't undead humanoids, in terms of behavior and threat level they share more than a passing resemblance. With civilization having collapsed, the sighted and unsighted alike struggle to scavenge a living while being hunted by this new predator. Eventually the sighted protagonists retreat to the countryside and barricade themselves inside a farm house, fending off repeated Triffid attacks. The novel is heavy with social commentary and contains a lot of memorably hellish depictions of shambling, groping masses of humanity. The Triffids themselves have a rickety, limping gait and are slow-moving, awkward creatures posing little threat individually (unless they catch you unawares). In large numbers, however, they are a serious menace; able to force their way in practically anywhere and seemingly capable of rudimentary communication and organization. | |

Death World: What Bill fears and imagines the Earth may become through the proliferation of the triffids as he contemplates the future close to the end of the book. He wonders if humanity will be crushed into tiny gated enclaves permanently patrolled to stop the Triffids breaking in. It's not clear by the end of the novel whether or not that is going to be the case. | |

No FEMA Response | |
The Day of the Triffids / int_70e8a55a | comment |
No FEMA Response: A plot point. The first third of the book is driven by the conflict between one faction of sighted survivors who are desperately trying to hold things together until an official relief effort of some sort arrives, and another group who have concluded that there isn't going to be one and they should salvage what they can and get out while the going is good. The second group turns out to be right, and the desperate attempts to keep hundreds of blinded and near-helpless people alive were all for nothing. Being a Cosy Catastrophe doesn't stop this book being pretty bleak in places. | |

Missing the Good Stuff: Masen initially feels this way about being blindfolded during the spectacular meteor shower. Soon enough, of course, he comes to realize what a truly lucky break it actually was. | |

Soviet Superscience: Masen speculates this might have been the origin of the triffids. While he is more knowledgeable on the subject than the average man on the street, he is still basing this on second and third-hand rumors he picked up during his work with the triffids. Still, he points out that genetic engineering is a more likely explanation than a extra-terrestrial origin for the triffids due to the fact that every specific part of a triffid's biology can be found in various known plant species. | |

Apocalypse How: Planet-wide blindness caused by an alleged "meteor shower", followed by killer plants picking off the hapless survivors. Class 2, as organized national governments collapse but various large-scale survivor enclaves do manage to maintain some form of technological civilization. Halfway through the book it confirms that animals who looked at the strange meteor shower were also blinded, such as cows and sheep. Many animals were not, however, because unlike humans they didn't listen to radio reports urging them to watch the event. | |

It's Quiet… Too Quiet: As per the page quote, the first clue that something terrible has happened is the silence. At first the protagonist assumes he's woken up early for some reason, because the hospital is next to a main road and the traffic is audible until well into the evening, but then he hears a clock in the distance chime eight o'clock, and realises something is dreadfully wrong. | |

Tripod Terror: The triffids have three leg-branches. The narrator goes into a bit of detail about how they move, comparing them to a man on crutches and specifically noting that it's not an especially fast or stable method of locomotion. Being plants, of course, they don't really need to move very often or over a great distance. | |

Wasteland Elder: After most of the world's population goes blind, Michael Beasley (whose age is estimated to be between thirty-five and fifty) gathers a group of mostly sighted people to retreat to an island and rebuild society amidst the Apocalypse Anarchy. He's separated from the main characters soon afterward, but the success of his efforts is later described secondhand. Former Unionist Coker forms an organization designed to pair blind and sighted people (sometimes involuntarily) to scavenge for food and to help the blind people survive better. His goals are portrayed as nobler than Beadley's but also less practical in the long term. | |

Baby Factory: One of the most horrifying aspects of the plot's entire setup is that they cannot possibly help the vast majority of the population, who have been blinded. Eventually even the "good" faction of people led by Beadley sadly conclude that all of the blinded men are a drain on resources and thus a complete write-off. Conversely, Beadley's openly stated position — grudgingly accepted even by the protagonist — is that blind women of childbearing age will be kept alive and in polygamous relationships with the remaining sighted men, to try to repopulate as quickly as possible. | |

The Day of the Triffids / int_c95d04f2 | comment |
It Can Think: The exact level of intelligence of the genetically-engineered triffids is a subject for debate, with the protagonist rubbishing the idea that they're intelligent — after all, dissections haven't found anything remotely like a brain. Others aren't so sure. One man points out that the triffids escaped from their farms within hours of everyone going blind. In another scene a triffid is waiting outside the very door which a person would run out of if they heard someone driving down the road. Much like the Velociraptors in Jurassic Park, they're also smart enough to avoid an electrified fence...and to force it down when the electrical power is off. They even have a crude form of communication by drumming their branches against their trunk, though whether this is a crude but effective "hunting call", or an actual complex "language" is unknown. Overall, they seem to have at least the same basic intelligence level as a pack of dogs. | |

The Remnant: It's unclear as to whether the group Torrance is part of is a completely self-appointed version or did start out from some genuine structure, but they play this straight.
