They try to stop him, but, Griffin takes off his clothes and is therefore rendered entirely invisible. It’s at this point that he reveals the truth of his invisibility to the innkeeper while he’s suffering a fit of anger.

He should be paying his bill but isn’t able to. Around that time, a burglary occurs in Iping at the same time that Griffin is known to be running out of money. He continues to act oddly, ordering strange shipments to the hotel and becoming the talk of the town. Hall, who, along with her husband, owns the inn, demands that Griffin pays for the damage to their inn. More than once, he causes accidents with his experiments. The man wants to be left alone and spends almost all of his time in his room working with laboratory equipment. This is something that does not sit well with the locals who, living in a small town, are used to knowing and getting along with everyone. To match his eccentric appearance, Griffin has an unusual personality. It’s clear that he has a prosthetic nose as well. That is, except for his face, which is wrapped up in bandages. The man arrives in a snowstorm and is entirely covered by clothing. The Invisible Man begins with the main character Griffin (later the Invisible Man), arriving at a local inn in the village of Iping in West Sussex, England.

Spoiler alert: important details of the novel are revealed below. The small town residents recognize the danger he poses and do what they can to apprehend him. But, it soon becomes clear that through his experimentations, he’s managed to turn himself invisible and is planning a “Reign of Terror” across the country. A deep mystery surrounds his identity and intentions. Wells is a clever, short novella that describes the exploits of the “Invisible Man.” The man, whose real name is Griffin, turns up at an inn at the beginning of the book. From the beginning of the book, it becomes clear that he has no regard for anyone else and is solely focused on advancing his own experiments and carrying out his murderous “Reign of Terror.” Today, Griffin, better known as “the Invisible Man,” is an iconic character who has appeared in movies and television shows. But, despite his more favorable depiction in some of these adaptions, in Wells’ original novel, he is far from likable. The novel is quite short and is usually categorized as a novella (one of several that Wells wrote throughout his life).
