After his misadventure in the pool at the Y.M.C.A., Douglas was amidst the fear of water. He realised that his fishing trips, canoeing, swimming and boating were over. He tried his best to overcome it but the haunting fear of the water followed him everywhere. Finally he decided to engage an instructor to learn to swim and to overcome his fear. He went to the pool and practised for five days a week, an hour each day. The instructor put a belt around him and a rope was attached to the belt. The rope went through a pulley that ran an overhead cable. Douglas held one end of the rope and went back and forth across the pool. On each trip, some of the terror would seize him up. After three months, the tension began to decrease.
Piece by piece he shed the panic. He taught him to put his face under water and exhale. He also learnt how to raise his nose and inhale. This exercise was repeated hundreds of times.
Now he was able to shed part of the fear that seized him under water. He went to Lake Wentworth Triggs Island and Slamp Act Island. He swam two miles across the lake. Now he was determined and he swam on. He shouted with joy and he had conquered his fear of water.

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.

Griffin
Griffin was
the lead character in the novel. He was an albino. Though he had many great
qualities, yet he had many flaws in his character. Griffin was a man who had no
conscience, was callous towards other people and simply self-centered. He
appeared to be at war with the entire mankind. All his actions stemmed from his
desire to save himself, with not a thought of care and sympathy for others. He
did many mean acts in the novel. When he was short of money he continued his
experiments, without any thoughts of the consequences, he robed his own father,
who committed suicide because the money was not his. He attended his father’s
funeral without feeling sorry for his own act; instead he blamed his father for
being a sentimental fool. He experimented on a cat, with no concern for the
poor creature’s cries of pain. He threw it out and never tried to find whether
it was alive or dead. He burnt down the house at Great Portland Street when the
landlord and his sons found about his experiments and were horrified. He was
only worried about covering his trail.
Even after
becoming invisible he committed one brutal act after another, not because they
were necessary for his survival, but simply because he enjoyed doing them. The
way he looted his owner of a small costume shop, and left after striking the
old man on his head, spoke volumes about his inhumanity. He terrorized Marvel
when he was on the run, fought with the policemen. His plan to spread reign of
terror among people using his powers of invisibility really shocked Dr. Kemp.
He even tried to kill him for betraying him. In his final run from the people
hunting him, he killed an old man with a rod because he bumped into him.

Griffin leaves Doctor Kemp’s house in such a hurry that he breaks the ankle of a child he pushes past on the way. He disappears until 2.30 pm. While he is gone, men all over the countryside get to work trying to catch him. Armed groups accompanied by dogs search the roads and fields, while police officers warn people to stay inside and lock their doors. Copies of Kemp’s testimony, signed by Adye, are posted all over the district. A “thrill of horror” runs through the area, as people learn about the murder of Mr. Wicksteed.
No one knows for sure, but it is believed that Griffin must have been carrying an iron rod as a weapon when he encountered Mr. Wicksteed near a gravel pit close to the gate of Lord Burdock’s lodge. Mr. Wicksteed’s body was found with many wounds, and his walking stick was splintered. He was in his mid 40s, the steward to Lord Burdock, and a completely “inoffensive” person. The last person to see him alive, a young girl, testified that she saw Mr. Wicksteed hitting something on the ground with his walking stick, before disappearing out of sight.
There is much speculation about exactly how and why Mr. Wicksteed died. The only certain evidence is Wicksteed’s battered body and the bloodstained iron rod that was found nearby. In the aftermath of the murder, some reported hearing a voice wailing and sobbing. Griffin must have found everywhere the evidence of Kemp’s testimony and the pursuit of him that ensued as a result. During the night he likely ate and slept, before his “last great struggle against the world” the next day.
