Question

Q21. Though Griffin was a genius…yet he was lawless. Give details of his escapades which prove his criminal behaviour.​

Answer 1

When he exhausted all his money he had stolen,then again he robbed a clergyman. He even attacked the inn keeper and his wife. Later when the police came to arrest him,he threw off his clothes and became invisible and ran away. One who doesn't obey law and fails to behave properly, he is surely a lawless person.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Though, Griffin was a brilliant scientist, it can be inferred from multiple instances in the story that he was a lawless person. Initially, he set his landlord’s house on fire because the landlord wanted to throw him out of the house. He entered a store stealthily and unwrapped the boxes and adorned himself with the clothes and ate the food taken from a grocery store.

He then entered a theatrical company to disguise himself more. He robbed the shopkeeper after taking bandages, whiskers, glasses, a hat and many other things. Griffin stole the clergyman’s housekeeping money in Iping as well. All these instances support the inference that Griffin was a lawless man
