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 so he cou
It is so much easier not to believe in an invisible man; and those who had actually seen him dissolve into air, or felt the strength of his arm, could be counted on the fingers of two hands. There was skepticism even after the man vanished and there were witnesses to it. Both of the themes contribute to the fate of the invisible man and pushed him over the edge. His only contact was after he was all bandaged up and looked as though he had been in a bad accident. The major problem with his invisibility was that Griffin was not able to keep or have any friends. The ignorance of the society also played an important role of the madness that the invisible man accentuated at the end of the novel. Society was just offered a helping hand in the final outcome of Griffin's invisibility. 114)The previous quote was taken as the invisible man was talking to Kemp about his plans of judicial killing. The invisible man was the person most responsible for his fate because he did not think of the consequences of his actions before he made himself invisible. It proves that people will not even believe certain things if there is an overwhelming proof of the actual event. Society is always afraid of things that they do not understand or cannot explain. He does not realize that if he had never made himself invisible nothing like this would be happening. Another thing that Griffin did not realize before his experiment back fired was that he could not eat if he wanted to stay invisible.
