Résumé
"The Invisible Man: A Grotesque Romance" by H. G. Wells is a compelling narrative that explores themes of isolation, obsession, and the consequences of unchecked scientific progress. The story begins with the arrival of a mysterious stranger in the small village of Iping. Wrapped in bandages and wearing dark glasses, the stranger, later revealed to be Griffin, a scientist who has discovered the secret of invisibility, immediately arouses the curiosity and suspicion of the villagers. His reclusive behavior and secretive experiments only heighten their intrigue and fear. As the narrative unfolds, Griffin's volatile temper and erratic actions lead to a series of confrontations with the villagers. His invisibility, initially a scientific triumph, becomes a curse as it isolates him further from society. The villagers' fear turns to hostility, culminating in a series of events that force Griffin to reveal his condition. The story reaches its climax as Griffin's desperation and paranoia drive him to violence, ultimately leading to his downfall. Wells masterfully uses the character of Griffin to explore the darker aspects of human nature and the potential dangers of scientific exploration without ethical considerations. The novel serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of isolation and the destructive power of obsession.
