What disadvantages does Griffin face because of his invisibility?
Answer»
He soon discovered that being invisible had as many drawbacks as advantages.
People ran into him and stepped on him.
He had to be continually on guard as to the movements and positions of others in order to avoid accidental contact.
although people could not see him, dogs could detect him with their keen sense of smell.
As he had to remain naked, he was soon uncomfortable.
Also, he could not eat, as food was visible until it was fully assimilated into his system.
At one point, he had run up the steps of a house in order to avoid a unit of a marching Salvation Army band. While he waited, two youngsters spotted the prints of his bare feet in the mud. Soon a crowd of people had gathered to look at the “ghost prints.” He leapt over the railing and ran through a bunch of back roads to avoid the press.
