This is an open ended statement in which the answer can go in any direction. Whether or not being able to be happy after discovering a tool to wreak revenge on the society needs to be analysed critically. The fact is however that invisibility was more of a disadvantage for him, that is why Griffin was not happy, he was desperately looking for an antidote, but then Marvel ran away with his diaries!Rodrick Rajive Lalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304304298874980087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302708830114309851.post-10992815328070302242016-02-28T19:18:51.833+05:302016-02-28T19:18:51.833+05:30Sir, I guess happiness might not have been his sol...Sir, I guess happiness might not have been his sole aim in discovering invisibility. Scientists are actually crazy and passionate artists, who devote their life to science just for the FUN of it.<br />When Griffin had started his studies in optics, he did not have any idea where his investigations might lead him to. He had not set invisibility as his life goal. However, when he does find the formula of invisibility, he seems heedless, cruel and greedy; the symptoms of his isolation, frustration (maybe drugs?) show up in his actions. His goal then does seem to be to acquire fame at one stroke, in which he badly fails, and can not contribute(or achieve) anything to the worldRitu Rajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759885166274774616noreply@blogger.com
