Even The Invisible Man is a novel about how science can lead to trouble if it gets isolated and unrestricted by morality.

He then stays in an inn that is owned and run by the husband and wife George and Janny Hall. They ask him to not be worried about the storm, so he goes to his room with his luggage.

The villagers think that he is very peculiar, especially because there are suddenly weird break-ins and a lot of robberies start happening in the village.

He also tells him how he has made plans to terrorize England by using his discovery of invisibility. Here’s the gist of what he tells him: he was poor and was desperate to study invisibility, so he steals money from his father, who later commits suicide (it’s not revealed why he does that).

Finally, Griffin gets a grip of the idea of invisibility and proceeds to do these things: (1) set his landlord’s building on fire; (2) wander around London; (3) rob a department store; and (4) wear a ridiculous outfit hired from a theatrical costume shop and go to Iping for work.

But Griffin still breaks through the police line and starts chasing Kemp into the town. But unfortunately, the locals get hold of Griffin and kill him. At the end of the story, it is revealed that Marvel has saved all the notes written by Griffin in his room at the inn, but luckily, he can’t make heads or tails out of them.

Finally, he successfully tries the formula on himself and thinks about all the things he could do if he were invisible.

Sadly, the positives are far outweighed by the disadvantages, so Griffin starts opting for crime as a means of survival.
