<P> Griffin uses Kemp's gun to shoot and injure a local policeman who comes to Kemp's aid, then breaks into Kemp's house . Kemp bolts for the town, where the local citizenry come to his aid . Griffin is seized, assaulted, and killed by a mob . The Invisible Man's naked, battered body gradually becomes visible as he dies . A local policeman shouts to have someone cover Griffin's face with a sheet . </P> <P> In the epilogue, it is revealed that Marvel has secretly kept Griffin's notes; but since they are written in code, he is completely incapable of understanding them . </P> <P> Griffin is the surname of the story's protagonist . His name is not mentioned until about halfway through the book . Consumed with his greed for power and fame, he is the model of science without humanity . A gifted young student, he becomes interested in the science of refraction . During his experiments, he accidentally discovers chemicals (combined with an unspecified kind of radiation) that would make living tissue invisible . Obsessed with his discovery, he tries the experiment on himself and becomes invisible . However, he does not know how to reverse the process, and he slowly discovers that the advantages of being invisible do not outweigh the disadvantages and the problems he faces . Thus begins his downfall as he takes the road to crime for his survival, revealing in the process his lack of conscience, inhumanity and complete selfishness . He progresses from obsession to fanaticism, to insanity, and finally to his fateful end . </P> <P> Dr. Kemp is a scientist living in the town of Port Burdock . He is a former acquaintance of Griffin, who knew Kemp to be interested in strange, bizarre aspects of science . Kemp continues to study science as he hopes to be admitted to The Royal Society . His scientific temperament makes him listen to the story Griffin tells him . He does not become hysterical nor does he behave like the locals . Griffin hopes Kemp would support him in his evil schemes and help him live a normal life, but Kemp is too decent to join him . He is repelled by Griffin's brutality and considers him insane and homicidal . He betrays Griffin to the police . He keeps his cool throughout the plot, when the final hunt for Griffin begins . Kemp helps in the final capture and killing of Griffin . Kemp's understanding of science and humanity draws a distinct line between him and Griffin's scientific approach; while Kemp has an empathy and the sound sense to discriminate between right and wrong, the very same thing is lacking in Griffin as could the case of him stealing from his father, firing up the Great Portland House where he was staying . </P>
