Analysis of Egoism and Existentialism in The Invisible Man
Have you ever imagined that what if you become invisible one day? When you becomes invisible, you can surely do lots of things that you cannot complete as a visible man. However, what if what you consider a blessing is also a curse? The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells touches on this very same question.
The Invisible Man is a science fiction written by H.G Wells published in the nineteenth century in England. The invisible man in the novel is called Griffin, who was a college student but also an obscure scientist. He devotes himself to the field of optics and invents a way to render skin, bones and blood invisible. After processing a cat successfully, Griffin changes his body’s refractive index to absorb all light and reflect none, which makes him invisible. The scientist uses himself as his first experimentation subject of human being but fails to reverse the process. After the process, he can go anywhere, and menace anyone----sight unseen. He has only two problems: he cannot become visible again and he has gone quite murderously insane. He is just like an evil,murdering his betrayers who were ever his friends and robbing or stealing money ever his farther’s money .Griffin says in the novel,“I beheld, unclouded by doubt, a magnificent vision of all that invisibility might mean to a man—the mystery, the power, the freedom.” So he begins his own personal “reign of terror”
