How did Griffin meet his end in the novel, The Invisible Man?
Answers
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. He dug his own grave when he decided to kill
Colonel Adye. Before his death, he had
sunk to the lowest depth a man could go and was truly a monster in human form.
At the end of the novel, when Kemp was running to save his life from angry
Griifin who was chasing him with the advantage of invisibility, Kemp could not
run very far. Griffin seized him and began to beat him. Kemp’s cries for help
brought the bystanders to the spot where Griffin was astride on the fallen Kemp.
The crowd of people got hold of Griffin and beat him vigorously. Some of the
blows proved fatal and he succumbed to injuries. This is how he met his end.
