A question I have about this — 1 year ago
WORTH CONSUMING!
Most children think of invisibility as a super power, so this book’s protagonist being both invisible and hobbled was an ingenious idea. Invisibility is only a superpower if one can become visible again at will. Then the parallels to subjective invisibility are also easy to come to…
It was also interesting that Wells chose his protagonist to have no redeeming qualities. If Wells had a point to make I can’t help but wonder how he was accomplishing it with an angry, crazy main character?
