Mr. Griffin: He is a gifted young university medical student with albinism, who studies optical density. He believes he is on the verge of a great scientific discovery. Working reclusively in his flat, he invents a formula to bend the light and reduce the refractive index of physical objects, making them invisible. He experiments on himself and makes himself invisible. Consumed with the greed for power and fame, he is the model of science without humanity. His downfall begins as he takes the road to crime for his survival, revealing in the process his lack of conscience, inhumanity and complete selfness. He progresses from obsession to fanaticism, to insanity and finally to his fateful end. Griffins life changed after he became invisible. The way he saw the society and how they saw him was the major change or cause that effected his life. He was isolated from the society because he couldn’t be seen. Griffin was frustrated because people wanted to enquire about his clothing and weird acts rather help him reverse the invisibility. Marvel had betrayed him and this made him more frustrated towards the society. After being invisible, he was involved in tricking people, hurting the, killing a few and stealing money. Rather the using this for the scientific purposes he used thus to manipulate and carry out his own evil ideas. In the end, we see that the invisible man looses all of the good in him or he looses the human values in him and turns his frustration into vengeance and anger. He wasn’t able to convey his ideas to the society neither were they willing to know about it. This finally caused the death of the invisible man as the society labeled him as a potential threat.
Thomas Marvel: He is a jolly tramp with no home or job. He wanders from place to place, usually asking people for food or money. The author has unwittingly recruited him to assist the invisible man as his first visible partner. He carries around the invisible man’s books for him. He wears a shabby high hat, and we first meet him considering two pair of boots as a charity. There is an air of abandon and eccentricity about him. He was bearded, plump and of short limbs. He wore a furry silk hat, twine and shoelaces are a substitute for buttons at critical points of his costume. He drinks a lot and when he heard the invisible man for the first time, he thought that it was his dizziness due to drink that he sounded like this. He is a practical man as he acceded to the request of the invisible man after knowing that an invisible man is a man of power and can help him a lot.
Dr.Kemp: he is a scientist living in the town of burdock. His house is situating near the jolly cricketers pub. He is cool and methodical in approach. He do not easily believe in supernatural things. He is an old friend of griffin, the invisible man. Kemp has a hard time accepting the fact that his friend, who he had not seen for years, suddenly appears uninvited and invisible, but eventually he overcomes his hock, sits down and talks with the old friend of University College. His scientific temperament makes him listen to the story Griffin tells him. He does not become hysterical nor does he behave like the locals. Griffin hopes Kemp would support him in his evil schemes and help him live a normal life, but Kemp is too decent to join him. He is repelled by Griffin's brutality and considers him insane and homicidal. He betrays Griffin to the police. He keeps his cool throughout the plot, when the final hunt for Griffin begins. Kemp helps in the final capture and killing of Griffin.
Mr. Oliver: he is professor by the profession but a journalist by instinct. Griffin was his student. Oliver was a scientific founder. Oliver was a thief of ideas. He was, as stated, journalist by instinct, always ina n attempt to steal the ideas, theory, thesis and research conceived and developed by others and o receive all the credits for some others work. As a result he was prying at every one whom he came into contact. It is therefore evident that he was not a trust worthy person even being into a holistic profession of teaching and do not form a good opinion of himself among his press and students. People would like to keep distance from him to prevent any kind of intellectual harm.
Custom shop owner: he had an uncanny sense of hearing and he turned around at the slightest sound to see himself. When the invisible man entered the costume shop, the sound of the door brought the owner to the entrance. Seeing no one at the door, he cursed the street boys. The invisible man followed him about the rooms. If he heard any sound, he blamed the rats or some ghost. While walking through the customs in the room, things fell off from the shelves and made a noise. This made the owner angry and he was there with a revolver. He stated locking all the rooms.
