  • There are many changes, both slight and significant. Aside from the sensory changes felt by Eckels, there are two surprising external changes. First, the office sign painted on the wall has changed. The English language, especially the vowels, is different from when Eckels first read the sign. Second, and perhaps even more astonishing, the death of the butterfly has altered the presidential elections. Instead of President Keith, the terrible iron man dictator Deutscher has won, a man whose anti-militarist, antiChrist, anti-human, anti-intellectual beliefs led people to call Time Safari, Inc., to ask if they could escape back to 1492 (par. 8). Eckels is shocked by the realization that a beautiful butterflys death could upset balances and knock down a line of small dominoes and then big dominoes and then gigantic dominoes, all down the years across Time (par. 141).
