Isolation In The Invisible Man

Wells’ The Invisible Man, the use of characterization offers an explanation to the question: are people only acting in a good manner because society is forcing them to do so? As said in the afterward, “Without the eyes of others on us, and given a perfect ability to escape any punishment, we would live in a very different world” (Westerfield 178) it seems that people find themselves acting differently when they do not have any repercussions. Before Griffin had become invisible, he could easily be described as a very studious chemist who was very interested in his work, but after taking on his invisible state this description changed. The shift in characterization seemed to have been driven by the new power that was offered with invisibility. With the use of indirect characterization, Wells is able to successfully able to show the change in Griffin’s state of mind through his actions.

In our world today and in the stories we read, there are people who are more evil than anyone 's parents. In each of the stories “Cask of Amontillado” and “The Most Dangerous Game,” the two characters Montresor and General Zaroff are both very evil and two faced.

The way you speak says a lot about you. Victor created his creature in a manner that even he was afraid of it and ran off, so he never had the opportunity to show him how to speak. However, the monster learned to speak and act in a very proper manner.

Mr. Hyde feels no remorse for any evil he has done and actually feels elated when he does commit a moral sin.
