Immorality in The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells :: H.G. Wells, The Invisible Man

In The invisible Man, H.G. come up both demonstrates and criticizes mans tendency to become moral or immoral with the accomplishment of baron. Like many books of the same era, he uses science as the cats-paw of retribution for the social crimes that have been committed. Through invisibility, the hidden Man gains gaiety everyplace science and from this, great power he can steal, kill, and nuisance anybody without fear of being caught, as he describes, Its useful in acquire away, its useful in approaching. Its particularly useful, therefore, in killing. He excessively acknowledges the shortcomings of his invisibility, much(prenominal) as making sound and being easily imprisoned erst caught, vulnerable qualities which eventually lead to his d acceptfall. The Invisible Man breaks into many peoples homes, theft money, and leading eventually to physical abuse and killing. When faced with power, such as invisibility, man becomes immoral and is willing to do anything for personal gain and enjoyment. The Invisible Mans nemesis, Kemp, brings up the immorality by saying, But- I say The common conventions of humanity. The Invisible Man just reinforces his arrogance by rebutting with, Are all in truth well for common people. He believes there is nothing wrong with doing anything for his own survival since he is superior. He also brings the situation one quantity further with his reign of menace, which he describes as, Not wanton killing, but a judicious slaying.

The use of science to give man superpower can in any case be found in Mary Shelleys Frankenstein. Man should not construct the invisible man or the invincible man since they are alike powerful and this gives them the role of creator which, according to the society of the day, should only be a gods role. He shows how scie nce can accomplish great things and also how it can cause great harm. The harm that the Invisible Mans exploitation of power causes does not go unpunished. Wells demonstrates the social need for a smack of justice, as the Invisible Man is eventually captured and beaten to death for the terror he both created and wanted to create.
