Can anyone give a 6 mark character sketch of Dr.Kemp

Dr. Kemp was a resident of burdock, a tall and slender man with flaxen hair and a moustache almost white. The work he has been engaged in was touted to earn him a fellowship to the royal society which he admired immensely. Griffen feels bond with Dr kemp because they had attended the same university and are both men of science. But apart from this,there is hardly anything common between the two. Unlike Griffen, Kemp has maintained his sense of maturity and he does not let the gained knowledge jeopardise the peace of humanity. Once he got to know about the brutal self-seeking plans of the invisible man, he decided to stop this deranged man from achieving his goal of establishing the "reign of terror".                                                                        Kemp comes across as a man of Nobel intentions,all he wanted to do was help people from the invisible man.

Like Griffin, Dr Kemp was also a scientist who lived in Burdock. Actually, they both had gone to the same college. He was a tall and slender young man with flaxen hair and a moustache almost white.

He was ambitious which was clear from the fact that he wanted recognition of his achievements. But then he was also a speculative philosopher. The night that Griffin came to his house Dr Kemp was working on a remote speculation of social conditions of the future.

Kemp is referred to as “the doctor,” but his degree seems to be an academic one rather than a medical one. He continues his own study in hopes of being admitted to “The Royal Fellows”. His own experiments and fascination with science enable him to listen sensibly to Griffin, but in spite of being rather contemptuous of his fellow citizens, his common sense and decency prevent him from being a part of Griffin’s schemes.

Dr. Kemp is a scientist living in the town of Port Burdock. He is a former acquaintance of Griffin, who knew Kemp to be interested in strange, bizarre aspects of science. Kemp continues to study science as he hopes to be admitted to The Royal Society. His scientific temperament makes him listen to the story Griffin tells him. He does not become hysterical nor does he behave like the locals. Griffin hopes Kemp would support him in his evil schemes and help him live a normal life, but Kemp is too decent to join him. He is repelled by Griffin's brutality and considers him insane and homicidal. He betrays Griffin to the police. He keeps his cool throughout the plot, when the final hunt for Griffin begins. Kemp helps in the final capture and killing of Griffin.
