The Invisible Man 

has an honored place as one of the first works of

modern science fiction. H. G. Wells, a science student and teacher,
was keenly interested in how the twentieth century would develop its
technical knowledge.
He was equally concerned with the morality of the scientific
experimenter.
Griffin is one type of scientist, aloof, aggressive, and contemptuous
of his fellow humans.
Ordinary people irritate him.
They seem petty compared to his lofty concern with the mechanisms
of nature.
His knowledge isolates him;
he thinks only of his discovery and the power that his special
knowledge gives him.
Consequently, he becomes a menace to society.
At first, Griffin is a mysterious stranger seeking seclusion.
His gruff (brusca) manner is partly excusable because he is fending
off (evadi) the prying(curiosa) questions of his landlady and other
villagers.
After his plight(situación) as an invisible man is revealed, the
narrative shifts to an absorbing, intricate account of how he tries to
remain at large. The moral implications of his discovery are not
considered while society is still mobilizing to cope with this new
phenomenon.

Griffin is the novel’s anti-hero and the titular “Invisible Man.” A former medical
student at University College London, he never graduated and instead began
pursuing research into light and optics. Griffin ended up discovering a way of
turning living tissue invisible, and after testing out the experiment on
his neighbor’s cat he succeeded in performing it on himself. Unlike most
scientists, Griffin did not seek the approval or admiration of the scientific
community and refused to publish his research. Instead, his quest for invisibility
was related to a desire for absolute power, including the ability to commit
wrongdoing without consequences. However, once Griffin actually turns himself
invisible he realizes that life is not as easy as he imagined it would be, and he
struggles to fulfill his basic needs such as eating and seeking shelter. This fills
Griffin with bitterness and rage, heightening his already misanthropic nature.
Griffin is described as “almost an albino,” and the book reveals nothing about
his background or childhood, only that after he stole money from
his father which did not actually belong to him, his father killed himself. Griffin
shows a psychopathic lack of empathy and shame, and a desire to cause harm
for the sake of it. He obsessed with power and, in a classic act of hubris,
underestimates his own limitations. Among his many acts of violence, he shoots
an off-duty policeman and Colonel Adye and kills Mr. Wicksteed. He ends
up being killed by a mob of people in Port Burdock, at which point his body
becomes visible again.
Mrs. Hall is a woman who lives in Iping and who runs the Coach and Horses Inn
with her husband, Mr. Hall. She is a polite, decent woman who fatefully
overlooks Griffin’s strange behavior when he promises to pay her more money
for his stay. Depending on one’s perspective, this arguably makes her greedy or
simply a good business owner. She prides herself on being non-superstitious,
and dismisses warning signs about Griffin’s invisibility, only believing that he is
actually invisible after he reveals it to her himself.

Thomas Marvel is a “tramp” (homeless person) who lives in the Sussex

countryside. Griffin strikes up an alliance with him, flattering him by
telling him that he has chosen him specially to help him. Marvel is
astonished by Griffin’s invisibility and agrees to help him too hastily,
without pausing to think about the consequences. Later Marvel steals
Griffin’s notebooks and money from him, and Griffin almost kills him in
response. However, Marvel is able to escape with both the money and
notebooks, and after Griffin’s death becomes a landlord with a reputation
for wisdom in the local area. He keeps his possession of the books
secret, treasuring them even though he does not understand their
contents.

Doctor Kemp is a medical doctor who lives in Port Burdock. He is tall and
fair-haired; he also has a highly rational, even-tempered, non-
superstitious disposition. He studied with Griffin at University College
London. Griffin ends up breaking into Kemp’s house and reintroducing
himself to him, telling Kemp the long story of how he came to be invisible
and what happened after. Griffin presumes that Kemp will be an ally to
him and help him conduct a “Reign of Terror.” In reality, Kemp is deeply
disturbed by Griffin’s immorality and helps to bring Griffin down. Kemp is
kind and merciful, as shown by the fact that he tries to stop the mob
beating Griffin at the end of the novel, not realizing that it is too late, and
Griffin is already dead.

Mr. Wicksteed is a man in his forties who uses a walking stick and is
known as being a completely “inoffensive” person. He is the steward
to Lord Burdock. He is murdered by Griffin, who it seems he may have
encountered by accident on the grounds of Lord Burdock’s house.
