The voices of The Invisible Man
8 voices in The Invisible Man by H. G. Wells. Every one is a separate voice, cast to the character as written.
- Narrator — Wells's close third-person narrator, moving between the village's comic confusion and Griffin's mounting menace. Dry, observational, occasionally darkly amused.
- Griffin — The Invisible Man himself — a brilliant, arrogant, and ultimately paranoid physicist whose discovery of invisibility drives him to megalomania. Cold, precise, increasingly unhinged.
- Dr. Kemp — Griffin's former university colleague, a rational scientist who ultimately betrays Griffin to the authorities. Calm, methodical, morally clear.
- Marvel — The hapless tramp Griffin coerces into becoming his assistant. Terrified, bumbling, and eventually cunning enough to escape with Griffin's notebooks.
- Mrs. Hall — The sharp, businesslike innkeeper of the Coach and Horses who tolerates Griffin until his eccentricities become impossible.
- Mr. Hall — Mrs. Hall's steady, slow-thinking husband.
- Colonel Adye — The local police chief who leads the final chase of Griffin. Competent, direct, ultimately killed in the pursuit.
- Dr. Cuss — The local doctor who has the first unsettling encounter with Griffin and provides comic relief.
