Question

Who was Thomas Marvel? How did he cheat the invisible man?

Answer 1

Marvel is kind of like the Invisible Man's sidekick. Except he's terrible at it. He abandons the IM and still, he gets pretty nicely rewarded. That's kind of an odd moral.

Marvel is something of a stock character when we first meet him. He's the poor, homeless, jobless wanderer – in other words, he's a tramp. He wears shabby, old-fashioned clothes, like his "obsolete hat" (13.39), and he has buttons replaced by pieces of string. The narrator goes so far as to tell us that he does everything in a leisurely manner (9.2). He doesn't seem to like work or excitement. Typical homeless guy in fiction.

He definitely doesn't like working for the Invisible Man. He carries his stuff, including the money the Invisible Man steals in Port Stowe, but this isn't a super fun arrangement for him. So it's no surprise when he decides to jump ship.

Hope it helped!
