Style and Technique

Herbert Wells' novel "The Invisible Man" is written in the science fiction genre and combines elements of social satire and psychological thriller. Wells' style is characterized by clarity and precision, allowing the reader to easily follow the plot's development. The language of the work is rich with scientific terms and descriptions, lending the story realism and credibility. Literary devices used by the author include irony, symbolism, and allegory. For example, the invisibility of the main character Griffin symbolizes his alienation from society and loss of human qualities. The narrative structure is linear, with a clear division into chapters, each advancing the plot and revealing new aspects of the characters' motivations. Wells also uses dialogues and internal monologues to deepen the psychological portrait of the characters and create tension.
