In the story of The Invisible Man, a mysterious man goes to a village called Iping, which is in the middle of a snowstorm.Finally, Griffin gets a grip of the idea of invisibility and proceeds to do these things: (1) set his landlord's building on fire; (2) wander around London; (3) rob a department store; and (4) wear a ridiculous outfit hired from a theatrical costume shop and go to Iping for work.This man's name is Griffin, a scientist, who usually spends his time in his room experimenting with different chemicals and formulas.Here's the gist of what he tells him: he was poor and was desperate to study invisibility, so he steals money from his father, who later commits suicide (it's not revealed why he does that).At the end of the story, it is revealed that Marvel has saved all the notes written by Griffin in his room at the inn, but luckily, he can't make heads or tails out of them.The villagers think that he is very peculiar, especially because there are suddenly weird break-ins and a lot of robberies start happening in the village.So, he gets depressed and frustrated, taking off all his bandages and clothes and manages to disappear into the night with his invisibility tricks.Griffin then tells his friend Kemp about his experiments with invisibility.
