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).
