The 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 vive sectionalist 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 could us
"'Not wanton killing, but a judicious slaying. The society could have prevented the whole disaster if they would have been more open and allowed for an explanation to be brought to their attention. Both of the themes contribute to the fate of the invisible man and pushed him over the edge. Griffin did not realize how many disadvantages his invisibility had until it was too late. His only contact was after he was all bandaged up and looked as though he had been in a bad accident. There was skepticism even after the man vanished and there were witnesses to it. It proves that people will not even believe certain things if there is an overwhelming proof of the actual event. This proves that Griffin has gone completely insane and it is his way of getting back at society for excluding him. The reason they were so afraid of the invisible man was the fact that nobody could explain why he was invisible. This is when Griffin was going to go on his "reign of terror" and start killing judicially. The ignorance of the society also played an important role of the madness that the invisible man accentuated at the end of the novel. After the people chased the invisible man out of the town he snapped and became totally crazy. The people around him could see the food inside his stomach, until his body absorbed it. Another thing that Griffin did not realize before his experiment back fired was that he could not eat if he wanted to stay invisible. The major problem with his invisibility was that Griffin was not able to keep or have any friends.
