2. Which place was known as the centre of the theatre world? hslc-2023
Ans:- 'Drury Lane' in London is known as the centre of the theatre world.
1. Griffin was rather a lawless person". Comment
Ans_-There
is no doubt that Griffin was a brilliant scientist. However he was such
a lawless a person that his negative attributes outshone his genius and
creativity as a scientist. He carried out several experiments to
concertize his dream of making human body invisible. At the height of
his invention, he swallowed certain rare drugs and his body became as
transparent as a sheet of glass. He got involved in committing many
lawless things. Griffin was a person of revengeful nature. He quarreled
with his landlord who had an aversion to him and tried to eject him.
Griffin set fire to his house, escaped and became a homeless wanderer.
Having drunk the medicine, he became invisible and slipped into a big
London store and broke open boxes and wrappers and fitted himself out
with warm clothes. Taking advantage of his ability to disappear, he took
unlawful possession of garments without paying for them. Then he seized
the money from a shopkeeper after inflicting injury on him. His strange
habits and quarrelsome nature accompanied him wherever he went. He took
delight in harassing the people with his misdeeds.
2. Who was Griffin? How did he first become visible? Why did Mrs Hall find him eccentric?
Ans:-
Griffin was a lawless scientist who carried out experiments after
experiments to invent certain rare drugs. This drug could make human
body invisible by making it as transparent as glass. After swallowing
this drug, Griffin became completely invisible until he happened to step
in some mud, which caused him to leave footprints as he walked. His
footprints came to the notice of two boys, who followed him as long as
the prints were visible. Thereafter he went into a big London store in
search of some warm clothes. After the closure of the store he put on
shoes, an overcoat and a wide-brimmed hat, making himself visible to the
employees at the store. The arrival of a stranger at an inn in winter
was no less strange under any circumstance. Moreover, the stranger had a
peculiar appearance. He was rather cold and unresponsive to Mrs Hall's
efforts to be friendly. He expressed no desire to talk, and what he
needed was solitude. So, Mrs Hall found him eccentric.
3. Narrate the extraordinary things that happened at the inn.
Ans:-
The arrival of Mr. Griffin brought about many extraordinary things at
the inn. When the landlord and his wife entered Griffin's room they saw
the clothes and bandages of the scientist lying scattered in the room.
All of a sudden, Mrs Hall heard a sniff close to her ear. Sometime
later, the hat on the bedpost leapt up and dashed itself into her face.
Then, the bedroom chair began to move and charged straight at her. They
were too overpowered with fear to think clearly. The chair pushed them
out of the room, closing the door after them. Mrs Hall, who was about to
collapse in hysterics, came to the conclusion that the room was haunted
by spirits, and that these spirits had something to do with the strange
scientist.
Griffin was suspected to have been involved in the
burglary at the clergyman's home. When Mrs Hall asked for his
clarification on the strange occurrence in his room, he started throwing
off his bandages, whiskers, spectacles and false nose. The people were
bewildered to see a headless man. As soon as the police arrived, he
threw off one garment after another, became invisible and somehow
managed to get rid of that unpredictable situation.
