Advertisements
Solution
During their first encounter, Kemp was amenable to the idea of understanding a little more about the invisibility condition of the Invisible Man. Kemp scientific curiosity was tickled by the idea of an invisible man and he was keen on learning how Griffin had achieved the stupendous feat but as the latter began talking about abusing his powers and establishing a reign of terror, Kemp was alarmed. He devised a plan to apprehend the criminal but it failed. Kemp came to think of him as mad, inhuman, purely selfish and willing to go to any lengths in order to further his means. Kemp understood that the Invisible Man was only interested in working to his advantage and safety and in this path to brutal self-seeking, he could wound and kill people if need be. He would become unstoppable thanks to the panic generated in people by his invisibility. Kemp decided to stop this deranged man from achieving his goal of establishing a reign of terror and killing at will. He understood that the Invisible Man's humanity had disappeared and he had become a monster. Kemp comes across as a man with noble intentions, all he wanted to do was help people from the Invisible Man but also in a way, help Griffin not become the monster he wanted to be.
