Mrs. Hall
Mrs. Hall is
quite an important character in the beginning of the novel. She is the owner of
the inn, Coach and Horses. She is an astute business woman, dominating wife,
and practical woman. She does her job quite well. She does not mind Griffin’s
strange and eccentric appearance and behavior for the business’s sake. However,
she is quite quick in observing the abnormality of Griffin’s behavoiur.
She is quite
meticulous with the keeping of her inn. She provides satisfactory services to
her customers. When Griffin spoils the fender, walls, and the floor in the
room, she points it to him. She is a woman of ethics and right behavior. She
does not like Griffin’s mysterious disappearance from the room one morning. She
does not like the abnormal behavior of the furniture in Griffin’s room.
When she
becomes suspicious of his connection with the burglary at the Vicarage, she
becomes quite strict with Griffin. She insists on him to clear all his pending
bills. She stops serving him his meals and other services; when Griffin gives
some money to pacify her, she wants to know from him where he got the money
from. She also asks him to explain why the furniture in his room behaved
abnormally. This infuriates Griffin, and he reveals his invisibility to her by
putting his nose on her hand. She gets scared and runs away screaming.
Mr. Hall
Mr. Hall was
Mrs. Hall’s husband. He appeared to be quite henpecked. He had to agree to Mrs.
Hall’s wishes. As informed by Teddy Henfrey he was against renting room to the
invisible man since beginning; however he had to give in to his wife’s
decision.
When the
situation began to get out of control, he acted in earnest to seek the legal
advice against Griffin. He also went to lodge a complaint against him and
brought constable Mr. Bobby Jaffers along to the inn.
Hope this answer helps you.
