In the The Invisible Man, Griffin, is a talented young scientist who makes a startling discovery. In the midst of his experimentation putting his radical theories into practice, he renders himself completely invisible. This proves to be a curse, as he suffers total isolation and lack of human contact as a result of his condition. As the outcome of the experiment takes its toll, Griffin desperately tries to reverse the procedure. Though removed from society, he profoundly affects all who encounter him. The stranger becomes the outcast, reviled, hated and feared and responding with pain, madness and terror.
