The Invisible Man a Grotesque Romance

The Invisible Man a Grotesque Romance by Hg Wells

The Invisible Man is a story of a scientist and his descent into insanity. The protagonist is Griffin, a scientist who invented chemicals capable of rendering bodies invisible. Griffin made a research into optics and invents a way to change a body's refractive index to that of air so that it reflects no light and thus becomes invisible. Griffin's penchant for random violence begins to turn his world into a horrific setting that he can't control. After becoming an invisible man, Griffin wears long-sleeved coats and gloves keeping his face hidden and a wide-brimmed hat in order to disguise. During a snowstorm, he stays at a local inn owned by Mr. and Mrs. Hall. When Griffin begins to run out of money and reveals his invisibility to his landlady, things start changing for him. The Invisible Man examines philosophical aspects of science fiction and lends cultural criticism on the subject. The Invisible Man is a science fiction published in 1897.
