The Invisible Man | Chapter 14 : At Port Stowe | Summary

Marvel and Griffin go to Port Stowe. While Griffin steals coins from a banking company, shops, and inns, Marvel sits on a bench outside an inn. An elderly mariner joins him and tells Marvel about a newspaper story of an invisible man in the area. Marvel quizzes him to find out if the article mentions the Invisible Man's having any pals. After checking to make sure the Invisible Man is not present, Marvel tells the mariner he has information about the Invisible Man. Before he can confide in him, Griffin assaults his ear. Marvel informs the mariner that the reports of an invisible man are a hoax as Griffin pulls him away.

The mariner watches as Marvel is "suddenly whirled about" and moves "in a curious spasmodic manner" and with "occasional violent jerks." He observes Marvel's walking down the road talking to himself in a way suggesting "protests and recriminations." Later that day, the elderly mariner hears a report about "a fist full of money traveling selling without visible agency" and a man who grabbed at the money, only to be knocked down.

The Invisible Man | Chapter 13 : Mr. Marvel Discusses His Resignation | Summary

Summary


Mr. Marvel was marching painfully to Bramblehurst. He carried
three books bound together and a bundle wrapped in a blue tablecloth. He looked all tired and anxious. A voice accompanied him all
the time. He tried to flee, though he claimed he did not. The voice
warned him that he would be killed if he tried to give a slip.
The 'Invisible Man' was all upset thinking that all the happenings
would find a place in the newspapers and he would be searched
about everywhere. He wanted to use Marvel as a tool though Marvel
thought that he was a weak tool and could not be of much help
to the voice.
Marvel told the 'Invisible Man' that he was too weak to be of any
substantial help. Moreover, he might mess his plans. It would be better
if death becomes his pal and free him from the pain and helplessness.
Marvel's arguments cut no ice as they had no effect on the
'Invisible Man'. The 'Invisible Man threatened him to do as was
told and not to make lame excuses for resignation. Marvel carrying
the burden on his body and the burden of threat in his heart, had to
obey the mighty 'Invisible Man' willy-nilly. He passed up the street
of the village and was in total ignorance of his future.

The Invisible Man | Chapter 12 : The Invisible Man Loses His Temper | Summary

Mr. Hall and Teddy Henfrey hear unusual sounds coming from the parlor and smell an "unpleasant chemical odour." They rap on the door and ask if everything is all right. Although Bunting replies it is and tells them not to interrupt, Hall and Henfrey are not reassured. They continue to eavesdrop and hear bits of an agitated conversation and what "sounds like throwing the table-cloth about." Mrs. Hall catches the two eavesdroppers, and before she can send them on their way, she sees a door across from the inn open. Huxter, the shopkeeper, appears and calls out, "Stop thief!" and then runs across the yard.

Everyone in the tap except Mrs. Hall rushes outside and sees Huxter make a "complicated leap in the air" and fall down. People on the street join the crowd and chase after Marvel. Griffin stays behind and tackles Mr. Hall, a laborer, and three passersby. He throws Hall through the air, trips the laborer, and tackles the others. The fallen men are then "kicked, knelt on, fallen over and cursed" by the crowd chasing after Marvel.

Inside the inn, a trouser-less Cuss rushes out of the parlor and calls for people to hold Griffin. He tells them, "Don't let him drop the parcel! You can see him so long as he holds the parcel." Unbeknownst to Cuss, Griffin has already passed the parcel to his accomplice and is no longer visible. Once outside, Cuss "join[s] the tumult," where he, too, is "knocked off his feet into an indecorous sprawl."

Griffin then goes on a rampage. He destroys the festival booths, breaks all the inn's windows, and hurls a streetlamp through a window before leaving Iping for good. The villagers flee to hiding places and the streets remain deserted for "the best part of two hours before any human being venture[s] out again."

The Invisible Man | Chapter 11 : In the Coach and Horses | Summary

Cuss and Bunting are in Griffin's rooms, examining items he left behind in order to understand the earlier events of the day and to investigate Griffin. They discover three books titled "Diary." They attempt to read one of the diaries but are unable to decipher the letters and symbols. Cuss surmises some of it is written in Greek and suggests Bunting can read it. As they discuss this, Marvel knocks on the door and enters the room. He says, "Stand clear!" and then leaves. Cuss and Bunting assume the intruder is a sailor who accidentally entered the room, and Cuss locks the door. As he does, someone sniffs.

As Bunting bends his head to pore over a book, he feels a pressure on the back of his neck and hears a voice whisper, "Don't move, little men ... or I'll brain you both!" Griffin had entered the room with Marvel. He chides the men—as he pushes both of their heads toward the table—for invading "an investigator's private memoranda" and his "private rooms" and demands to know where his clothes are. After threatening the men by telling them he could "kill [them] both and get away quite easily," he promises to let them go unharmed if they do what he says. He tells them he needs clothing, accommodation, and his three books.

The Invisible Man | Chapter 10 : Mr. Marvel's Visit to Iping | Summary

                                                                        Video Summary

The villagers in Iping engage in the Whit Monday festivities, seemingly unconcerned about the events earlier in the day. The narrator says, for them, "It is so much easier not to believe in an invisible man." An injured Jeffers rests in the Coach and Horses parlor, and Mr. Wadgers retreats behind the locked doors of his house. Around four o'clock Marvel enters the village and goes to the Coach and Horses. He climbs the steps, opens the parlor door, and leaves when Mr. Hall tells him the bar is in another room. Marvel walks to the yard "upon which the parlor window opened" in "an oddly furtive manner," and leans against a gatepost and smokes. He then reappears, carrying three books and a bundle tied in a blue cloth.

His odd manner attracts Mr. Huxley's attention. When he sees the strange man go into the yard, he chases after him. Griffin, an unseen force, stops Mr. Huxley. He catches Huxley's shin "in some mysterious fashion" so "he [is] no longer running" but flying through the air, then landing on the ground

Character Sketch Of Mr. Marvel | The invisible Man | Chapter 9

Mr. Marvel is a unique figure, bearded, plump and short of
limbs. His very sight can make anybody get amused. He wears
funny silk hat, twine, and shoelaces, substitute for buttons at initial
points of his robes. He is a jolly old tramp, resourceless and lives
perhaps on charity. He does drink and that too perhaps to forget
his pitiable condition. In spite of his tattered condition, he looks
somewhat satisfied and tries to enjoy his stay in the midst of nature.
He is a fickle minded person. When he is threatened by the invisible
man, he changes his mind to help him. This fickle-mindedness
makes him a practical man and he knows how to make best of the
prevailing condition. He does know that an invisible man is a man
of power and can do anything. He accedes to his demand and gets
ready to help him. He is not stubborn and he cannot afford to be so.
He easily submits to some temptations put before him. He appears
to be an interesting character.

The Invisible Man | Chapter 8 : In Transit | Summary

                             VIDEO SUMMARY

Gibbons, a non-professional expert in natural history was lying on
the big open downs. Within a couple of miles, there was not a trace
of a human being. He was dozing. Suddenly he heard the sound of
a man sneezing, coughing and then sweating savagely. He looked
up but no trace of anyone present over there. The voice continued
to swear and the words used by the voice were definitely from the
mouth of a refined and civilized man. It grew to a climax and then
it diminished, inch by inch, and died away in the distance, going
in the direction of Adderdean. It finally came to a silence with
choked sneeze. Gibbons had no knowledge about the bizarre
happenings at Iping. He got disturbed by the strange occurrence.
He got up and hurried down the hill towards Iping.

The Invisible Man | Chapter 7 : The Unveiling of the Stranger | Summary

VIDEO SUMMARY

At noon Griffin calls for Mrs. Hall and asks why she has not served him his meals or answered his bell. She presents his bill, which is past due, and asks him to pay it. Griffin tells her he is no longer waiting for a remittance to pay it, but now has the money. This makes her suspicious. She demands he explain how he made the chair move and how he got in the empty room.

Griffin tells Mrs. Hall to stop talking with "such extraordinary violence that he silence[s] her immediately." He tells her she does not understand who or what he is. He removes his false nose and hair, glasses, hat, and bandages, revealing he is invisible. Mrs. Hall is shocked at the sight of "nothingness, no visible thing at all." She runs outside, shrieking. The other villagers join her. Their screams attract a larger crowd, including Mr. Bobby Jaffers, the village constable, who arrives with Mr. Wadgers. They have brought an arrest warrant with them. Mr. Hall, Jaffers, and Wadgers enter the parlor to arrest Griffin, and a fight ensues—with the three villagers fighting an unseen foe. After Griffin surrenders, Jaffers informs him he is being arrested on charges of burglary. Griffin flees from the room by stripping off his clothes before Jaffers can handcuff him, leaving behind several battered and injured individuals and a crowd of panicked villagers.

The Invisible Man | Chapter 6 : The Furniture That Went Mad | Summary

Video Summary

On the day of the burglary at the vicarage, Mr. and Mrs. Hall are up early and in the cellar diluting the beer. Mr. Hall goes upstairs for a forgotten item and notices that the stranger's door is open. Coming back down the stairs, he sees the "bolts of the front door had been shot back." Distinctly remembering watching Mrs. Hall set the bolts before bed, he becomes suspicious of the stranger and enters his bedroom. It appears to be empty, adding to Mr. Hall's suspicion. He rushes to the cellar to tell his wife, and they both come upstairs to check the bedroom. As they do so, they hear the front door open and shut, and sneezing. In the bedroom, they witness inanimate objects—including the bedclothes, stranger's hat, sponge, furniture, and clothes—move about the room. They hear laughing "in a voice singularly like the stranger's." A chair charges Mrs. Hall, pressing "firmly against her back and impell[ing] her and Mr. Hall out of the room." The door is then slammed and locked.

Mrs. Hall attributes what she has seen to spirits. She wants to lock Griffin out of the inn, believing he is the cause of the evil spirits. Wanting the expertise of a "knowing man," she sends Millie to awaken Mr. Wadgers, the blacksmith, and bring him to the inn. After Wadgers arrives, Mr. Huxter and his apprentice join the Halls and discuss busting down Griffin's door. The question becomes moot when the door opens and a fully dressed Griffin appears. He walks down the stairs and into the parlor, then turns and "swiftly, viciously, slam[s] the door in their faces." After gathering his courage, Mr. Hall knocks on the parlor door to demand an explanation. Griffin shouts invectives through the door and does not open it.

"ON THE FACE OF IT" SUMMARY CLASS 12TH VISTAS

SUMMARY

There are two characters in the play- an old man named Mr. Lamb and a small boy of fourteen years called Derry. Both suffer from physical impairment. The old man had lost his one leg in a bomb explosion during the war. The boy got his face burnt from one side as a bottle of acid fell on him. One day derry gets inside Mr. Lamb's garden. They start talking to each other. It turns out to be a long, meaningful conversation, an exchange of two completely opposite views.

Mr. Lamb Tries to comfort Derry and tells him not to fear anything. He says that the gate remains always open and anybody can enter the garden. Derry says that he is not afraid rather people are afraid of him. They look at his burnt face and shrink back. They either ignore him or just pity him. Some make fun of him and others make uncharitable remarks about him. They call him ugly as a devil. Lamb tries to console him. He tells Derry that he does not get annoyed when children call him Lamey Lamb. After all, there is nothing wrong with it. If he does not have one leg, then Lamey Lamb fits on him. He asks Derry to face the harsh realities of life bravely instead of withdrawing himself into a shell.

Derry does not seem to be convinced by Mr. Lamb's observation on life. Lamb tries to make him understand that it is the inner beauty of a person that matters, not the outer beauty. Darry does not agree. He says that it is important to be handsome from outside also. Even his mother kisses him on other side of his face. When his mother avoids his ugly face then what about others? He regrets that he has to spend the whole of his life with his half face. Mr. Lamb encourages him by saying that he has got a full body. He can do anything like other people or maybe he can do better than others.

Mr. Lamb encourages Derry to look at the world around him and he will find so many interesting things to attract him. He can do so many good things to keep himself occupied. Lamb gives his own example. He does not feel lonely when he looks at the buzzing bees and flowers in the garden and listens to the sounds of birds and insects. He enjoys sitting in the sun and he grows fruits, weeds, and flowers. Derry finds a lot of truth, sense, and inspiration in Mr. Lamb's words, He says that he also wants a big house and a big lawn. Lamb asks him to stay with him. However, Derry wants to go back home as he knows his mother will be waiting. Before leaving, he promises Mr. Lamb to return to him.

At home, Derry tells his mother about his meeting with Mr. Lamb and his intention to go back to meet him. She strictly warns him against going to Mr. Lamb as she has heard many things about the old man. But Derry is determined to return to Mr. Lamb who has given him a new meaning of life. He rushes out of the house. In the meanwhile, Mr. Lamb climbs on the ladder to get the crab apples from the tree, but he falls down. Derry enters the garden panting and saying," You see, you see! I came back." Suddenly, he finds Mr. Lamb lying on the ground. He kneels and asks Mr. Lamb to get back, but Mr. Lamb is unmoved. Derry comes to know that he has lost his only friend in this world. Nevertheless, he knows now how to face the world with his disfigured face.
