HEY!!
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER :-
Griffin
Griffin was
the lead character in the novel. He was an albino. Though he had many great
qualities, yet he had many flaws in his character. Griffin was a man who had no
conscience, was callous towards other people and simply self-centered. He
appeared to be at war with the entire mankind. All his actions stemmed from his
desire to save himself, with not a thought of care and sympathy for others. He
did many mean acts in the novel. When he was short of money he continued his
experiments, without any thoughts of the consequences, he robed his own father,
who committed suicide because the money was not his. He attended his father’s
funeral without feeling sorry for his own act; instead he blamed his father for
being a sentimental fool. He experimented on a cat, with no concern for the
poor creature’s cries of pain. He threw it out and never tried to find whether
it was alive or dead. He burnt down the house at Great Portland Street when the
landlord and his sons found about his experiments and were horrified. He was
only worried about covering his trail.
Even after
becoming invisible he committed one brutal act after another, not because they
were necessary for his survival, but simply because he enjoyed doing them. The
way he looted his owner of a small costume shop, and left after striking the
old man on his head, spoke volumes about his inhumanity. He terrorized Marvel
when he was on the run, fought with the policemen. His plan to spread reign of
terror among people using his powers of invisibility really shocked Dr. Kemp.
He even tried to kill him for betraying him. In his final run from the people
hunting him, he killed an old man with a rod because he bumped into him.
Dr. Kemp
Dr. Kemp was
a man of principles and understood his responsibilities to his fellow men and
women. Not only he helped Griffin in his hour of need but also dared to risk
his life for saving his fellow men and women from the cruel plans of Griffin.
He was quite
observant and self-confident scientist. He examined the first traces of the
Invisible man’s presence in his house objectively. On coming face with him,
Kemp did not at all get started. Without losing his composure, he heard Griffin’s
entire story with patience and assured to provide all the help he could.
However, after he read all the reports about the invisible man as printed in
the newspapers, he sent a word to the police chief, Colonel Adye to come and
arrest this criminal.
After he
became sure Griffin was a danger mankind, he took decisions in the larger
interest of the welfare of the society. The manner in which he got Griffin
arrested – by making himself bait, shows he was capable of putting his life in
danger for the larger interests of society. Griffin was selfish; but Kemp could
sacrifice his own life, this was the main difference between them.
Therefore,
Kemp earns the admiration of the readers for the positive qualities for grit
and determination.
Marvel
Marvel was
an easy-going low-wit man who liked being alone and reclusive. His life before
meeting Griffin was quite peaceful, though he had his own challenges to face.
He had to be Griffin’s accomplice against his wish as the latter threatened
him. He often expressed his wish to be free of the responsibilities Griffin had
assigned him, but to no avail. He also tried to give him a slip; but Griffin
caught him. Marvel was trapped in Griffin’s schemes. He was to too weak and
clever to outsmart the strong and shrewd invisible man.
However,
Marvel succeeded in dodging Griffin with his stolen money in his pockets and
diaries in which he had written the process of becoming invisible in cipher. He
hid the books somewhere as he could not run with them. Fortunately, at Jolly
Cricketers he was helped by fortune. After that he took shelter in police
custody. He told the police everything he knew about Griffin; but he did not
tell anything about the stolen money and his research diaries. After Griffin’s
tragic end, he used the stolen money to open an inn and settled in life. He
never told anyone that he had Griffin’s diaries that he read every evening to
understand the secret information that Griffin had jotted in them. He took
advantage of Griffin’s stolen money and secretly kept his research work.
Mrs. Hall
Mrs. Hall is
quite an important character in the beginning of the novel. She is the owner of
the inn, Coach and Horses. She is an astute business woman, dominating wife,
and practical woman. She does her job quite well. She does not mind Griffin’s
strange and eccentric appearance and behavior for the business’s sake. However,
she is quite quick in observing the abnormality of Griffin’s behavoiur.
She is quite
meticulous with the keeping of her inn. She provides satisfactory services to
her customers. When Griffin spoils the fender, walls, and the floor in the
room, she points it to him. She is a woman of ethics and right behavior.
