Griffin was not a true scientist as he misused his scientific discovery. Illustrate this point bygiving instances from the story |
| Answer» <p>Griffin’s story is of a man who had no conscience, wascallous towards other people and simply self-centered. He appeared to be at warwith the entire mankind. All his actions stemmed from his desire to savehimself, with not a thought about the pain he inflicted on others. That sometraits were inborn can be seen in how he hid his work from his own professor,lest he or anyone else claimed the credit from it. When he was short of moneyhe continued his experiments, without any thoughts of the consequences, herobed his own father, who committed suicide because the money was not his. Heattended his father’s funeral without feeling sorry for his own act; instead heblamed his father for being a sentimental fool. He experimented on a cat, withno concern for the poor creature’s cries of pain. He threw it out and nevertried to find whether it was alive or dead. He burnt down the house at GreatPortland Street when the landlord and his sons found about his experiments andwere horrified. He was only worried about covering his trail.</p><p>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. Before his death, he had sunk to the lowest depth a man could go and was truly a monster in human form.</p> | |
