#TariffPause A triff is a fictional, carnivorous plant from John Wyndham’s novel The Day of the Triffids. Triffs are tall, mobile plants with a venomous stinger, capable of killing humans. They communicate through rustling sounds and seem to possess a strange intelligence. After a mysterious event blinds most of the human population, triffs begin to hunt people, making them a significant threat. The novel explores themes of human vulnerability and nature’s dominance when unchecked. Triffs symbolize the dangers of scientific experimentation and the fragility of civilization. They remain a chilling example of how easily the balance of power can shift.
