“Griffin was rather a lawless person.” Comment.

Griffin was, no doubt, a brilliant scientist. He did wonderful experiments and achieved success in making the human body invisible. It was absolutely a great discovery. However, Griffin misused the discovery. He didn’t use it for the welfare of the people or humanity in general. Rather he used it for his petty benefits attained through illegal activities. He openly challenged the established laws and tried to create chaos, confusion and lawlessness through his activities. Invisibility gave him an excuse to become lawless and an anarchist. When his landlord wanted to eject him, he became so revengeful that he set his house on fire. He forcefully robbed a shopkeeper and ran away with all the money he found with him. He became a homeless wanderer making illegal entries in a London store and a shop in Drury Lane. He decamped with articles he needed for his use without paying for them. Griffin’s burglary at the clergyman’s house is a shameful act of lawlessness on the part of an eccentric scientist. He used his invisibility only to trouble, frighten, beat and rob innocent persons. read less
