1 Wells paralleled the Martian to Humans and that they had the same traits and characteristics including the use of violence. He also believed the alien would view the human as being a lesser animal and not as an intelligent creature.
2 Lewis Portrayed the Alien as being both equal to humans and different. They are equal in the sense that they both have reason. They are different in the sense that concepts such as war, slavery, and lust are absent on Malacandra but they are characteristics of Humans trying to control everything.
