ns. Griffin was a brilliant and competent scientist who had discovered a rare drug which could
make him invisible. It was the result of his long and constant experimentation. Griffin became
invisible not for the welfare of the society but to satisfy his own ego and carry out satanic deeds.
He was a brilliant scientist but not a law abiding person. He was a criminal scientist who had no
respect for humanity. He misused his discovery only for his personal gains, committing theft and
burglaries and beating and robbing innocent persons. He could have earned fame and respect had
he utilised his great discovery for the welfare of humanity. He was also not a good human being.
He was rude to everyone. When anyone asked about his secret, he hit them and escaped by
becoming invisible. His activities made him an anarchist. Griffin proved how science and its
great discoveries could be misused. He became a disaster for himself and society. Lawlessness
and anarchist behavior made him a homeless wanderer without clothes and money. He had to
remain without clothes even in the chilly weather of mid-winter to remain invisible. He had to
make illegal entries and burglaries in a clergyman’s house, a big store in London and a shop in
Drury Lane. This brought him disrepute and dishonour instead of fame and respect. He should
have imbibed qualities like empathy, kindness, helpfulness, honesty, generosity and social
responsibility. These values would have made him a better person. He should have used his
discovery for the benefit of society and his country.
