He devised an experiment to  become invisible and then started looting and murdering whoever came in his way. He was very irritable and impatient. He lost his temper over pretty things and started hurting others. He had lost all his sense of conscience and didn’t feel sorry even after his burglary led to his father’s death. Although he was lonely and seemed to have been misunderstood from time to time, he failed to gain sympathy due to his murderous rage and evil ways.

Mr Marvel Character Sketch

Source: YouTube

Mr Thomas Marvel was a short, fat man. He gave an impression of a tramp –  the  the shabby hat, the charity boots, his clothes and his homeless lifestyle. Being a lazy guy, he did everything in a leisurely manner. Griffin made him his sidekick  even  even though he himself considered him stupid and good for nothing. He was a coward little man and was unable to standup to Griffin. He became his partner in crime, but cheated him. He was also an opportunist. The first chance that he got, he tried to sneak away from Griffin, but failed. The second time he manage manag e to run away with all his money and his three books. Hew was very clear in the sense that he himself got arrested as he knew Griffin was after him. Moreover, he kept the three books for himself in hope of solving their mystery –  mystery  – an act of foolishness

Hunchback Character Sketch We encounter the hunchback –  hunchback –  a  a name given by him by Griffin and Dr Kemp  –  when  when Griffin narrated the incident that what happened in Drury Lane. Although, we don’t know his name he owned a shabby costume shop. He was a short, slight, hunched, beetle-browed man, with long arms and veryshort bandy legs. Griffin sneaked into his shop only to realise that the man had a very sharp hearing sense. He nearly caught Griffin moving here and there in his house. He had no table manners and was irritable. He was also very cunning. He tried to see who was was in his house by sneaking slowly upstairs. He also tried to lock each other and every room of his house so that he could catch the culprit. He was also so clever that Griffin had to knock him down to steal what he wanted.

Dr Kemp Character Sketch

Source: Screen Insults

Like Griffin, Dr Kemp was also a scientist who lived in Burdock . Actually, they both had gone to the same college. He was a tall and slender young man with flaxen hair and a moustache almost white. He was ambitious which was clear from the fact that he wanted recognition of his achievements. But then he was also a speculative philosopher. The night that Griffin came to his house Dr Kemp was working on a remote speculation of social conditions of the future. Kemp is referred to as “ the doctor,” but his degree seems to be an academic one rather than a medical one. He continues his own study in hopes of being admitted to “The Royal Fellows”. His own experiments and fascination with science enable him to listen sensibly to Griffin, but in spite of being rather contemptuous of his fellow citizens, his common sense and decency prevent him from being a par t of Griffin’s schemes.

He was a calm and sensible man . He didn’t get scared by the invisible intruder. He kept his cool when the murder threat arrived. He laid his ownlife on the line to get Griffin arrested which showed that he was also very brave

Colonel Adye Character Sketch Colonel Adye was the Chief of Police in Burdock . Our first impression of him was that of a brave man. He came running to arrest the Invisible Man residing in Dr Kemp’s house. Then we see him as a person who took decisions very swiftly. However, blindly followed what Dr Kemp asked him to do and didn’t five his own opinion which showed that instead of being a leader, he was more of a follower. He was a moral being and opposed the idea of spreading powdered glass on the roads as it was unsportsmanlike. But Dr Kemp pursued and he obliged. We again see a glimpse of his bravery, and foolishness also, when he tried to fight the Invisible Man having a gun. This resulted in his getting shot.

Mr Heelas Character Sketch Mr Heelas was the next door neighbour of Dr Kemp Ke mp. He was one of the sturdy minority who refused to believe in the story of the of  the Invisible Man and regarded it as a nonsense even though his wife agreed to it. When it was proclaimed that everyone should be on high alert, he insisted upon walking about his garden as if nothing had happened. This showed his casual views towards the rumours and his ‘seeing then believing ‘ attitude.

However, he came about as coward who would not open his door to help his neighbour in distress. Griffin was after Dr Kemp. When Mr Heelas woke up and saw his neighbour’s house, he at once realised that the Invisible Man was after him. Dr Kemp came running to him, but he denied him entry . Perhaps, he was trying to save his family, but this was not a moral act.
