NOTES ON Chapters 1-4 The Invisible Man

CHAPTER 1. The Strange Mans Arrival
Summary

A stranger arrives in Bramble Hurst railway station.

He is bundled from head to foot with only the tip of his nose showing.

He enters the Coach & Horses Inn and demands a room and a fire. Mrs. Hall, the owner prepares
a supper for him and offers to take his coat and hat, but he refuses to take them off.

When he finally removes the hat, his entire head is swathed in a bandage.

Mrs. Hall thinks he has endured some accident. She tries to get him to talk about himself, but he
is taciturn with her, although not particularly rude.

Notes
This introduction to the Invisible Man through the eyes of the town people is actually about midway
through his own story. He has already gone from place to place trying to keep his cover and has
committed two acts of violence, one against his own father and the other against the proprietor of a
costume shop whom he tied and gagged in order to be able to steal clothing and money. Nevertheless,
his intention at this point is simply to find a quiet place and work as quickly as possible to find an
antidote to the invisibility. The primary thread of the story-that of the growing rumors and suspicions,
which eventually contribute to his exposure-is begun.
CHAPTER 2. Mr. Teddy Henfreys First Impressions
Summary

Teddy Henfrey, a clock repairman, comes to the inn for tea. Mrs. Hall asks him to repair the
clock in the strangers room.

Teddy deliberately takes as long as he can with the clock, taking it apart and reassembling it for
no reason. The stranger finally gets him to hurry up and leave.

Offended, Teddy talks himself into believing that the stranger is someone of a suspicious nature,
perhaps even wanted by the police and is wrapped up to conceal his identity.

Teddy runs into Mr. Hall and warns him about the stranger, informing him that a lot of luggage
will be coming. It would seem that the stranger intends to stay awhile.

Mr. Hall goes home intending to investigate the stranger, but is put off by the short-tempered
demeanor of his wife.

Notes
Mrs. Hall, although not a major character, is revealed as rather devious in a harmless sort of way. She
really wants to know what the mans disfigurement is; she assumes he has been in a horrible accident,
and the motherly side of her wants to know how to express sympathy. She is a very good innkeeper
under the circumstances. While she is not above using Teddy to pry for information, she does not
contribute to the spread of rumors. In fact, we are told later that she defends him as long as he is
faithful about paying his bill. Teddy is a character typical of the other people of the town. He wants to
know the mans story, and when he is rebuffed for his persistence, he begins to imagine all sorts of
things. His imagination soon becomes fact to him, and he spreads his new knowledge to anyone who
will listen.

CHAPTER 3. The Thousand and One Bottles

Summary

The strangers luggage arrives at the inn. Numerous crates fill the deliverymans cart, some of
them containing bottles packaged in straw.

Fearenside, the cartman, owns a dog that starts to growl when the stranger comes down the
steps to help with the boxes.

The dog jumps for the strangers hand, but misses and sinks his teeth in a pant leg. The dog tears
open the trouser leg, whereupon the stranger goes quickly back into the inn and to his room.

Concerned about the possibility of injury, Mr. Hall goes to the strangers room. He gets a
glimpse of what seems like a white mottled face before he is shoved by an unseen force back
through the door.

The stranger soon reappears at the door, his trousers changed, and gives orders for the rest of
his luggage.

The stranger unpacks 6 crates of bottles, which he arranges across the windowsill and all the
available table and shelf space in the inns parlor-a space he seems to have commandeered for
himself.

Mrs. Hall enters later to tend to his needs and catches a quick glimpse of him without his
glasses. His eyes seem hollow; he quickly puts his glasses on.

She starts to complain about the straw on the floor, but he tells her to put it on the bill and to
knock before entering his rooms.

She points out that he could lock his door if he doesnt want to be bothered, advice that he
takes. He then works behind the locked door all afternoon. At one point, Mrs. Hall hears him
raving about not being able to go on. She hears a sound like a bottle being broken.

Later she takes him tea and notes the broken glass and a stain on the floor. He again tells her to
put it on the bill.

Meanwhile Fearenside talks in the beer shop of Iping Hangar. Fearenside says that the stranger
is a black man, an assumption derived from the absence of pink flesh when the trouser leg
was ripped open.

When reminded of the pink nose, Fearenside claims that the man must therefore be a piebald,
or a part white, part black creature.

Notes
Fearenside is more observant than even he realizes. Of course, Griffin knows that a close look at his torn
pant leg will reveal a missing leg, but he also needs to get away from the dog until they can get the
animal under control. Subtle differences among characters of the town are beginning to be revealed.

Mrs. Hall notices a hollow look to the guests eyes, an appearance masked by the dark glasses he
usually wears. His frustration is over the failure of his experiments; she notes the mess he makes but
cleans up after him with minimal complaint when he gives her extra money. Fearenside, on the other
hand, liberally discusses the discoveries he has made as a result of the brief encounter. Fearenside
refers to horses as an example of the patchy color that can happen when black and white are mixed.
CHAPTER 4. Mr. Cuss Interviews the Stranger
Summary

The stranger works diligently in his room until the end of April with only occasional skirmishes
with Mrs. Hall.

Whenever she disapproves of anything he does, he quiets her with additional payment. He
rarely goes out during the day, but goes out nearly every night, muffled up regardless of the
weather.

His identity becomes a topic of speculation in the town. Mrs. Hall defends him, repeating his
own words that he is an experimental investigator.

The view of the town is that he is a criminal trying to escape justice. Mr. Gould, the probationary
assistant imagines that the man must be an anarchist who is preparing explosives.

Another group of people believe he is a piebald and could make a lot of money if he chose to
show himself at the fairs. All agree, however, that due to his habits of secrecy, they dislike him.

The young men begin to mock his bearing; a song called Bogey Man becomes popular and
children follow at a distance calling out Bogey Man.

The curiosity of a general practitioner named Cuss is aroused, and he contrives for an interview.
During the interview the stranger accidentally removes his hand from his pocket. Cuss is able to
see down the empty sleeve to the elbow. Cuss questions him about moving an empty sleeve.

The stranger laughs, then extends the empty sleeve toward Cusss face and pinches his nose.
Cuss leaves in terror and tells his story to Bunting, the vicar.

Notes
In spite of Halls defense, Griffin will be the cause of his own destruction. Perhaps it is the frustration of
always having to guard his secret that causes him to act offensively when challenged, but in any case, he
could have handled the situation differently. The deliberate pinching of Cusss nose is not only an
unnecessary affront, but is also a mark of Griffins immaturity. Bringing pain upon others for the sake of
his own amusement, however, will soon deteriorate to performing criminal acts. In fact, although
Bunting is about to become Griffins new victim, Griffin has already been foraging at night for places that
he could rob in order to maintain his materials and keep up with his rent. This chapter nudges the plot
forward a bit by bringing in Bunting the vicar. The actions which will follow begin to bring the town
together in an awareness of a stranger in their midst.
