Power
This isn't a book about using a superpower to fight evil. (Although, we can totally imagine that book, where the Invisible Man teams up with Captain Nemo to fight crime in late Victorian-era England. Oh, they already did that?) But power is definitely a big piece of the puzzle in The Invisible Man. And not just superpower (i.e. invisibility). The Invisible Man touches on how knowledge – in this case, science – is power and how this power can corrupt. Bottom line: with great power comes great invisibility. Yeah, we went there.

Power in <em>The Invisible Man </em>is almost always the power to hurt or kill. This shows us that power is ultimately always violent – a way for one individual to harm another.
