Question

Character sketch of Colonel Adey

Answer 1

colonel Adye was the Chief of Police in Burdock. Our first impression of him was that of a brave man. He came running to arrest the Invisible Man residing in Dr Kemp’s house.
Then we see him as a person who took decisions very swiftly. However, blindly followed what Dr Kemp asked him to do and didn’t five his own opinion which showed that instead of being a leader, he was more of a follower.
He was a moral being and opposed the idea of spreading powdered glass on the roads as it was unsportsmanlike. But Dr Kemp pursued and he obliged. We again see a glimpse of his bravery, and foolishness also, when he tried to fight the Invisible Man having a gun. This resulted in his getting shot.
