Answer:

Griffin is the protagonist of the novel. The Invisible Man actually, was a scientist who was doing experiments to make a human being invisible by changing the refractive index of the human body. He proved to be trouble to whomsoever he came in contact with. First, it was his father who became his victim. He robbed him which drove him to commit suicide. Then he carried on his experiments of converting a human body invisible on the neighbour?s cat. On being caught by his landlord and in order to hide from him, he set his building on fire. He stole clothes from a theatre shop and then dodged Mrs. Hall, the owner of the inn ?Coach and Horses?. There also when his progress slowed down and he needed more money to pay the bill to the pub owner, he burgled the house of Reverend Bunting.             He asked for help from a tramp, Mr. Thomas Marvel who assisted him many times but he proved to be cleverer than Griffin and ran away with Griffin?s stolen money. Griffin followed him to the town of Burdock where he met his old schoolmate. Dr. Kemp. He tried to take him in confidence and asked him to be his partner in his ?Reign of Terror? to which Kemp refused. So Griffin thought of killing him, in order to take revenge but didn?t succeed. Although he became the victim of circumstances but he remained troublesome for everyone who came in contact with him.
