is a boon or a bane for Griffin.(100- 120 words)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Invisibility turned out to be a bane for Griffin.

Explanation:

Here's why-

1. As Griffin could not earn while being invisible, he had to carry out thefts to survive, Griffin had to start stealing food and money.

2. Griffin could not wear clothes or else people would catch him, he had to steal clothes in order to survive the brutal cold in London.

3. Griffin didn't have a home because he was invisible. He had to wander here and there, until he moved to the inn at Iping.

Invisibility did more harm than good to Griffin. He lived a miserable life. One reason for Griffin's pitiful condition despite being a great scientist was his lawlessness. Had Griffin used his discovery for human welfare, he probably would not have ended up in that pathetic condition.
