Answers
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.
