THE INVISIBLE MAN follows the story of a scientist named Griffin who has discovered the power of invisibility however he has gone mad in the process. He quickly becomes frustrated with his efforts to restore himself to visibility and embarks upon a reign of terror that will make him master of the world.
THE INVISIBLE MAN starts out with a town spooked by a stranger who arrives wearing a long coat, a widebrimmed hat, goggles, and bandages wrapped around his face. The stranger lives in total solitude in his room, conducting scientific experiments and only venturing out at night. Later, the stranger unfolds his story to a Dr. Kemp: the man is Mr. Griffin, a medical student who once studied under Dr. Kemp. Mr. Griffin has, through scientific discovery, made himself invisible. However, he does not know how to become visible again.
Being invisible for a period of time has clearly taken a toll on his mental stability: Kemp realizes that Mr. Griffin has become insane and dangerous. Mr. Griffin confides to Kemp that he plans to begin a “reign of terror†on the nation.
When Kemp attempts to turn Griffin into the authorities, he becomes Griffin’s first target.
The idea of “the invisible man†has been a recurrent theme in many works of fiction and film. “The invisible man†is usually a tormented man: what happens to a person when they aren’t acknowledged, aren’t seen?
The Invisible Man is a cautionary tale: not only against the dangers of scientific exploitation, but against the corruptive nature of excessive power. It makes for a very exciting read.
