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.

He isn’t a savage like the others, who pushed Piggy away. Simon could also be considered a guide because he understood more about what was going on better than the others. He was able to figure out that the monster wasn’t really a monster. But no one ever listened to Simon, they made him an outcast, when really he could have helped them a lot. That is why they couldn’t think straight, they turned into monsters because they didn’t follow their “guides”.
The creature has the ability to speak in his own defense, but is not given the chance. He is not accepted as a human and therefore is not given the right to defend himself.
