Invisible Man – Character introduction of Griffin
Invisible man is a book, which focuses mainly on one character. The title basically describes what the book is about, a Griffin who found a way to be invisible not have a cure slowly going insane, driven mad both by his affliction and a growing megalomaniac mentality. He announces a Reign of Terror, in which he plans to extort money, food and shelter from the surrounding countryside.
Basically he is introduced arriving into Mrs Hall’s inn and rents a parlour there. Obviously it is not possible to recognise how the man looks as he has bandages across his face and is not showing a single part of his body and was “wrapped up head to toe.” This would give the reader, immediately, the impression that he is a bizarre and mysterious man. He is a very quiet man and barely replies to questions and when he does, he does so in a very short and sharp manner, only when it is necessary. An example of this is when Mrs Hall is about to take his hat off and he distinctively responds “Leave the hat.”
