THE INVISIBLE MAN
 
IMPORTANT LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS
 
Chapter – 16 - In the Jolly Cricketers: Summary: The Jolly Cricketers is a tavern. The barkeep,a cabman, an American and an off duty policeman are engaged in idle chat when marvel bursts through the door. Marvel begs for help, claiming the Invisible Man is after him.A pounding begins at the door and then a window is broken in. The Invisible Man doesn‟t come in immediately, however. The barman checks the other doors, but by the time he realizes the yard door is open, the Invisible Man is already inside. Marvel, who is hiding behind the bar, is caught and dragged into the kitchen. The policeman rushes in and grips the invisible wrist of the hand that holds onto Marvel, but is abruptly hit in the face.People stumble over and into each other as all try to catch the Invisible Man. He yelps when the policeman steps on his foot, then flails wildly about with his Invisible fists and finally gives them the slip. The American fires five cartridges from his gun, sweeping his gun in a circular pattern as he fires. The chapter ends with the men feeling around for an invisible body.
 
Notes: Griffin is injured in this chapter. He is thus forced to find shelter and help in the nearest possible place. But now, enough people have been involved in Griffin‟s mayhem that it will be relatively easy to round up a posse of believers when the time comes to do so.
 
Q1. Describe the episode when Marvel came to take refuge in the inn the ‘Jolly Cricketers’.
 
Chased by the invisible Man, Marvel came down the hill running for his life. He was mortally afraid of the Invisible Man and to escape his fury he blindly ran into the inn the „ Jolly Cricketers‟ He shrieked, screamed and cried for help. His incoherent talk and his terrorstricken face drew all the people in the inn to help him. The American, the policeman, and the cabman got together to close the doors quickly and stop the Invisible Man from entering the place. The barman accommodated Marvel behind the bar counter. In the meantime, the Invisible Man was heard pounding at the door. They all assured him that since the doors were closed, there was no need for him to be afraid. Desperate to save himself, Marvel repeatedly requested everyone present in the inn not to open the door. He looked around to hide in some safer quarters. Seeing Marvel‟s pitiable condition he was sent into the bar- parlour and the door was locked on him. After providing a relatively safe hiding place to Marvel, all other men prepared to encounter the Invisible Man. Thus, everyone in the inn stood by Marvel and gave him full protection.
 
Q2. How did the Invisible Man manage to get into the inn, the ‘Jolly Cricketers’? What did he do after coming in?
 
The people inside the inn were determined to protect Marvel from the Invisible Man. They fastened bolts of the doors and closed the windows to keep him out. After a while, all set to face the Invisible Man, these men drew the bolts o f the door and challenged the Invisible Man to walk in. To their great disappointment neither did the door open nor did anybody walk in. Actually, the Invisible Man had already entered the inn through the back door that opened in the yard. Without giving anyone a chance to react, he dragged the helpless Marvel into the kitchen. The policeman gripped the Invisible Man‟s wrist. The cabman and the barman too caught hold of him. Under pressure from all quarters, the Invisible Man had to release Marvel. However, he couldn‟t be held for long and he wriggled out of their clutches. Before running out he threw a tile at the policeman. Provoked by this outrageous insolence, the bearded man fired five shots at the Invisible man. He was certain of having wounded him but little did he know that the Invisible Man had escaped with only a minor injury in the wrist.
 
CHAPTER 17: Doctor Kemp’s Visitor: Summary: Doctor Kemp is still working in his study when he hears the shots fired in the Cricketers. He opens his window and watches the crowd at the bottom of the hill for a few minutes, then
 
returns to his writing desk. A few minutes later, he hears his doorbell ring, but his housekeeper says it was only a “runaway” ring.The doctor is at his work until 2 AM when he decides to go downstairs for a drink. On the way he notices a spot of drying blood on his linoleum floor. Then he finds more blood on the doorknob of his own bedroom. In his room, his bedspread is smeared with blood, his sheet is torn, and bedclothes are depressed as if someone has been sitting there.The Invisible Man introduces himself to Kemp.He is Griffin, of University College. He explains that he made himself Invisible, but is wounded and desperately in need of shelter, clothes and food.Kemp loans him a dressing gown along with some drawers, socks and slippers. Griffin eats everything Kemp can rustle up and finally asks for a cigar. He promises to tell Kemp the story of his bizarre situation but insists that he must sleep first as he has had no sleep in nearly three days.
 
Notes: Kemp‟s reaction is in stark contrast to Marvel‟s original reaction to Griffin. Although he finds the story hard to believe, he is too well educated and too intelligent to deny the evidence of his own eyes. Nor is he prey to hysterics or to working class superstitions. The idea of a spirit or witchcraft doesn‟t even occur to him. His cool demeanor as he helps Griffin to the things he needs could be an indication of hope for the Invisible Man.
 
Q1. What attracted Ke mp’s attention whe n he went downstairs to quench his thirst before going to bed? How do his observations establish him as a man of science?
 
When Kemp went downstairs to quench his thirst, the first thing that caught the attention of this observant man was a dark spot on the floor near the staircase. Initially, he ignored it but then his scientific mind once again took him to the spot. Kemp bent down and he rubbed his finger over the stain. He made out immediately that it was sticky blood that was about to dry up. Next, he saw blood stains on the door handle. As he entered his room and his eyes were directed to his bed, he was quite intrigued to see that his bed spread was soaked in blood. His bed sheet was torn and there was a depression in the bed clothes. Being a man of science he applied his rationality to deduce that someone had been sitting there.He then felt a voice call out his name. While he was still wondering, he felt someone moving in the room. This gave him an eerie feeling. But what gave him a real start was a wee-tied, blood-stained coiled bandage hanging in mid air. However, before he could grasp it, someone touched him and called out his name. Although startled, Kemp applied his reasoning power to the unexplainable things around him.
 
Q2. Describe Kemp’s encounte r with the Inv isible Man.
 
Kemp was a cool headed man who did not panic at the sight of blood stains on the floor, door handle or the bed spread. He tried to analyse the situation with a cool mind. He concluded that someone was present in his house.
Then a voice calling out his name and a blood stained bandage in mid air confirmed his doubts. Soon he found himself grappling with someone who identified himself as an Invisible Man. Despite his best efforts, he got overpowered by him. However, Kemp did not give up and made full use of his free hands and legs, giving punches and kicks to his opponent. After a brief struggle, Kemp gave up. The Invisible Man threatened that he would smash his face if he made any noise. Kemp realised that the Invisible Man was getting the better of him. So very sensibly, he surrendered without showing any obstinacy.The Invisible Man then introduced himself to Kemp as Griffin, his junior at the University College. He also reminded him that he was the very tall „albino‟ who had won a gold medal in Chemistry. Kemp found it difficult to believe him but was generous to feed him and also give him a dingy scarlet robe, socks and slippers to protect him from the chill. He offered him his room to sleep for the night. Kemp had a very matter-of fact approach towards the whole issue.
 
Q3. What made Kemp’s scientific mind reconcile to the existence of an Invisible Man? Why we re his queries evaded by Griffin?
 
Kemp had a scientific mind and he had given a demonstration in the morning to prove that the invisibility of a man was not possible. He established that invisibility was nothing more than a trick. However, the same evening, to his great surprise, he heard a voice in his bedroom calling out his name. The blood stains around him were inexplicable. When the Invisible Man had a scuffle with Kemp, he had no choice but believe in the reality of invisibility. On seeing him eat and drink he could not argue that invisibility was possible. Kemp‟s scientific mind could not reconcile to such a phenomenon. Hence, his curiosity prompted him to ask the Invisible Man how he had become invisible. Not willing to share his knowledge with Dr Kemp, Griffin evaded this query. Kemp then enquired about his monetary source, Griffin evaded this query too, since all the money he had accumulated was earned by indulging in theft. He refused to disclose how marvel was made an accomplice to Griffin. Hence, Griffin very cleverly evaded the queries of Kemp to plug complications.
