he was the stranger who arrived at Iping.

real name was Griffin.

more like that of an antagonist.

he used his mind in a sinister way.

misunderstood from time to time, he failed to gain sympathy
due to his murderous rage and evil ways.

Mrs. Hall's Character Sketch
1. Janny Hall, or better known as Mrs Hall, was the owner of the
‘Coaches and Horses‘ inn in Iping.
2. The first time we encountered her, she appeared to be an
opportunist.
3. She gave the stranger a room in her inn without showing much
concern to confirm his identity.
4. She was a bit money minded. She accommodated with Griffin’s
rudeness and awkward behaviour only because she was being
paid.
5. However, she had a courteous side also which we see when she
tried to know about Griffin's physical impairment and showed
sympathy towards his state.
6. She was superstitious and believed that her furniture was
haunted. She was a dominating wife and didn’t shy away from
giving her husband a lecture.
7. Moreover, she could put her foot down if required. When she
had enough of the stranger’s rudeness, she decided to set him
straight and stopped serving him. She replied in such an angry
tone that Griffin had to back away.

Mr. Hall's Character Sketch
1. George Hall or Mr Hall was the husband of Mrs Hall and
drove the Iping conveyance.
2. He was a drunkard and his wife managed the inn on her
own.

Henfrey told him about Griffin, he at once formed the
perception that something unusual was up. He has an
investigative side too.

to inspect his room when he found it empty.
5. However, he was only secondary to his wife and was very
meek in front of her.

kind by nature like his wife. When the dog attacked
Griffin, he rushed to his room to see if he needed any
kind of help.

Teddy Henfrey's Character Sketch
1. Teddy Henfrey was a clock repairman who Mrs Hall
used in an attempt to find out more about Griffin.
When he arrived, he was taken to Griffin’s room and
he was at once startled by his appearance.
2. He was quite inquisitive by nature and tried to find
more about the stranger. He purposely tried to work
slowly. But the silence in the room made him nervous.
He tried to talk, but got snubbed by Griffin. This
irritated him a lot.
3. He was a also a gossipmonger. When he couldn’t find
anything more about the stranger, he started
spreading rumours about him. He had a suspicious
nature. He was the one who said that the stranger was
perhaps wanted by the police and that is why he kept
himself covered.

Mr. Cuss’s Character’s Sketch
1. Mr Cuss, the general practitioner in the village of Iping, was
a curious cat. The bandages of the Invisible Man excited his
professional interest. He was also jealous of him when he
got to know that he possessed so many bottles of different
shapes and size filled with chemicals.
2. He thought he was smart and devised a plan to arrange an
interview with the stranger just to gain more information
about him. However, he was scared out of wits when
Griffin showed his empty sleeve.
3. At first he behaved boldly, but ran away when Griffin
tweaked his nose by the invisible hand. Though scared, he
reacted rationally after coming to his senses.
4. He thought he had probably gone mad or insane. Later, we
see his investigative nature also. He tried to decipher
Griffin’s book with the help of Mr Bunting.

Mr. Bunting’s Character Sketch
1. Mr Bunting was the vicar of the Iping village and thus,
was held in very high esteem by his fellow villagers
2. He was a rational being. When Mr Cuss narrated him
the story of his interview with the Invisible Man, he
tried to calm him and got his facts right.
3. He grew suspicious about the things that Mr Cuss
narrated and considered it to be a “most remarkable
story“.
4. We see that he was also very bold and brave. He tried
to decipher Griffin’s book with the help the fact that
he had forgotten all his Greek.

Mr. Bobby Jaffers’s Character Sketch
1. Mr Bobby Jaffers was the constable of the Iping village
who came with a warrant to arrest the Invisible Man.
He appeared to be a resolute man and tool his work
rather seriously.
2. He commented that head or no head, he had to arrest
the man and that is what he would do. He was also a
very brave man.
3. When the invisible man confronted him, he rapped his
point that he was there to arrest him and didn’t shiver.
He was strong, but was no match for his invisible
enemy and got beaten up.
4. Thought he couldn’t see the stranger, he thought that
it was some kind of trick. He was quick to react and at
once realised that the invisible man was trying to
escape.

Thomas’s Marvel
1. Mr Thomas Marvel was a short, fat man. He gave an
impression of a tramp – the shabby hat, the charity boots,
his clothes and his homeless lifestyle. Being a lazy guy, he
did everything in a leisurely manner.
2. Griffin made him his sidekick even though he himself
considered him stupid and good for nothing.
3. He was a coward little man and was unable to stand up to
Griffin. He became his partner in crime, but cheated him.
4. He was also an opportunist. The first chance that he got, he
tried to sneak away from Griffin, but failed.
5. The second time he managed to run away with all his
money and his three books.
6. He 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 –
an act of foolishness.

The Hunchback
1. We encounter the hunchback – a name given by him by
Griffin and Dr Kemp – when Griffin narrated the incident
that what happened in Drury Lane. Although, we don’t
know his name he owned a shabby costume shop.
2. He was a short, slight, hunched, beetle-browed man, with
long arms and very short 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.
3. He was also very cunning. He tried to see who 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’s Character Sketch
1. Like Griffin, Dr Kemp was also a scientist who lived
in Burdock. Actually, they both had gone to the
same college.
2. He was a tall and slender young man with flaxen
hair and a moustache almost white.
3. He was ambitious which was clear from the fact
that he wanted recognition of his achievements.
But then he was also a speculative philosopher.
4. The night that Griffin came to his house Dr Kemp
was working on a remote speculation of social
conditions of the future.

Continue......
1. 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”.
2. 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
part of Griffin’s schemes.
3. 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 own life on the line
to get Griffin arrested which showed that he was also
very brave.

Colonel Adye’s Character Sketch
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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’s Character Sketch
1. Mr Heelas was the next door neighbour of Dr Kemp. He was one of the
sturdy minority who refused to believe in the story of the Invisible Man
and regarded it as a nonsense even though his wife agreed to it.
2. 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.
3. However, he came about as coward who would not open his door to
help his neighbour in distress.
4. 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.
5. 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.
