Question

Summary of the invisible man 2 in 2000 words.

Answer 1

After darkness falls, Mrs. Hall uses the arrival of Teddy Henfrey, a clock-jobber, as an excuse to knock on the parlor door to see if Griffin wants tea. When they enter, he is sleeping, and once again, Griffin's appearance startles Mrs. Hall: "the white-bound head, the monstrous goggle eyes, and this huge yawn below it." When he awakens, Griffin tells Mrs. Hall he would like to be "alone and undisturbed," but he agrees to let Henfrey mend the clock. First, though, he repeats his request to have his luggage picked up and delivered that night. Mrs. Hall tells him it is not possible, which disappoints him. Griffin provides some personal information, telling Mrs. Hall: he is an experimental investigator; his luggage contains equipment for his work; he does not like to be disturbed when he is working; he had an accident that left his eyes weak and sensitive.

Henfrey tries to engage Griffin in conversation, but Griffin cuts him off after two words and rages at him to "finish and go." Peeved at being treated rudely, Henfrey leaves quickly. At Gleeson's corner, he runs into Mr. Hall (who is newly married to Mrs. Hall). Henfrey tells Mr. Hall about the new guest, suggesting Griffin, whose name they do not yet know, is in disguise and hiding from the police.

After Mr. Hall returns to the inn, he goes to the parlor to investigate the new guest. Griffin has retired to his room, but Hall examines a paper with mathematical computations left behind. Annoyed by her husband's suspicions, Mrs. Hall tells her husband not to meddle in her business. In the middle of the night, she awakens after a dream of white turnip-shaped heads with long necks and "vast black eyes."

Analysis

The most important action in this chapter happens when Henfrey plants the first seeds of suspicion of the stranger among the villagers. Mrs. Hall remains in Griffin's corner, but her husband and Henfrey clearly are not.

H.G. Wells develops the theme of knowledge by using light to represent growing awareness. When Mrs. Hall opens the parlor door, the glow of the fire and "the scanty vestiges of the day that came in through the open door" were the only light in the room. This dim light makes it difficult to see things clearly, and everything seems "ruddy, shadowy, and indistinct to her." Because of the limited light, Mrs. Hall does not trust her sight when she sees Griffin's wide, yawning mouth. Instead, she concludes the shadows have tricked her. She is searching for an explanation for the odd sight and, unable to conjure one, she doubts her senses.

Mrs. Hall's doubts are quelled, however, when Griffin shares some personal information. His comment, "I should explain ... what I was really too cold and fatigued to do before," shows self-awareness of how his prior rude behavior was unlikely to gain the innkeeper's cooperation so he could work without interruption. His more civilized tone and conversation suggests he has some humanity. This new behavior, however, appears to be driven more by self-motivation than consideration for other people.

Mrs. Hall demonstrates her quest for understanding with a line she repeats often: "If I might make so bold as to ask—," but Griffin cuts her off before she can make her inquiry. By this time they have established a pattern: Mrs. Hall attempts to obtain information by asking questions, and Griffin responds firmly in the negative.

Because Griffin does not perceive the need to satisfy Henfrey's curiosity, however, he sets in motion what will eventually drive him from the village. Henfrey is stung by Griffin's rude and abrupt manner and mulls over why Griffin treated him so poorly.

Hey !!

A mysterious stranger, Griffin, arrives at the local inn of the English village of Iping, West Sussex, thick coat and gloves, his face hidden entirely by bandages except for a fake pink nose and a wide-brimmed hat. He is excessively reclusive, irascible and unfriendly. He demands to be left alone and spend most of his time in his rooms working with a set of chemicals and laboratory apparatus, only venturing out at night.

         While staying at the inn, hundreds of strange glass bottles arrive that Griffin calls his luggage. Many local town people believe this to be very strange.

 He became the talk of the village ( one of the novels most charming aspects is its portrayal of small town life in Southern England, which the author knew from first hand experience ).

Meanwhile, a mysterious burglary occurs in the village. Griffin hats run out of money and is trying to find a way to pay for his lodging. When his landlady demands he pay his bills and accuses him burglary, he reveals part of his invisibility to her in a fit of pique. An attempt to apprehend the stranger is frustrated when he undresses to take advantage of his invisibility ; fights off his would be captors and flees to the downs.

    There Griffin coerces a tramp, Thomas Marvel, into becoming his assistant. With Marvel, he returns to the village to recover three notebooks that contains record of his experiments. When Marvel attempts to betray the Invisible Man and run away with his most priced possessions, Griffins chases him to the seaside town of Port Burdock, threatening to kill him. Marvel escapes to a local inn and is saved by the people at the inn, but Griffin escapes. Marvel later goes to the police and tells them of this invisible Man, then requests to be locked up in a high security jail.

       Griffins furious attempt to avenge his betrayal leads to his being shot. He takes shelter in a nearby house that turns out to belong to Dr Kemp a former acquaintance from medical school.

     To Kemp, he revels his true identity; the Invisible Man is Griffin, a former medical student who left medicine to devote himself to optics. Griffin recounts how he invited procedure capable of rendering bodies invisible and on impulse, performed the procedure on himself.

     Griffin tells Kemp of the story of how be became invisible. He explains how he tried the invisibility on a cat, then himself. Griffin burns down the boarding house he is staying in along with all his equipment he used to turn invisible to cover his tracks, but soon realizes he is ill equipped to survive in the open. He attempts to steal food and clothes to survive in the open.

      He attempts to steal food and clothes from a large department store and eventually steals some clothing from a theatrical supply shop and heads to Iping to attempt to reverse the invisibility.

     But now he imagines that he can make Kemp his secret confederate, describing his plan to begin a ''Region of Terror'' by using his invisibility to terrorise the nation.

      Kemp has already denounced Griffin to the local authorities and is watching for help to arrive as he listens to this wild proposal. When the authorities arrive at Kemp's house, Griffin fights his way out and the next day leaves a note announcing that Kemp himself will be the first man to be killed in the ''Region of Terror''. Kemp, a cool-headed character, tries to organize a plan to use himself as bait to trap The Invisible Man, but a note he sends is stolen from his servant by Griffin.

      Griffin shoots and injuries a local policeman who comes to Kemp's aid, then breaks into Kemp's house. Kemp bolts for the town, where the local citizenry comes to his aid. Griffin is seized, assaulted and killed by a mob. The Invisible Man naked, battered body gradually becomes visible as he dies. A local policeman shouts to cover his face with a sheet, then the book concludes.

    In the epilogue, it is revealed that Marvel has secretly kept Griffin notes. He hopes of deciphering their mystery some day and gain godly powers.

GOOD LUCK !!
