invisible man
The Invisible Man, by H.G. Wells, is composed of many small themes that combined to form two major themes in the novel. Some of the minor themes are acting before thinking and denial of unexplainable events. It is based on the two major themes of science experiments gone wrong and the ignorance of society. The most important theme in the novel was the experiment that Griffin, the invisible man, was working and it was not going exactly as planned. The way that the experiment went bad was not by accident; instead it was Griffin who had made the mistake of turning himself invisible. The reason that the invisible man had for becoming invisible was that he was suspected as to be a vivesectionalist and he did not want to be punished for it. The reason for the final decision of becoming invisible was that Griffin thought there were many advantages. He finds out after becoming invisible that the whole thing was not thought through enough and being invisible had many more disadvantages than what he was expecting. This was an example of Griffin acting upon something before adding up all of the consequences of his actions. If he would have thought the process through Griffin would have, at least, made things invisible
Both of the themes contribute to the fate of the invisible man and pushed him over the edge. The people could see his footprints and see him if he became dirty. "Scepticism suddenly reared its head -- rather nervous scepticism, not at all assured of its back, but scepticism nevertheless. He does not realize that if he had never made himself invisible nothing like this would be happening. The people around him could see the food inside his stomach, until his body absorbed it. There was skepticism even after the man vanished and there were witnesses to it. The novel is based upon the two themes of science experiments gone wrong and the ignorance society has toward unexplainable things. The people of the town did not even give the man time to explain what had happened to him; everyone just started to chase him down. The experiment that Griffin went through was his own fault and also sealed his own fate. The reason they were so afraid of the invisible man was the fact that nobody could explain why he was invisible. After becoming invisible Griffin realized that he could not sneak around people very easy and people still knew he was around even though they could not see him.
