A mysterious male, Griffin, referred to as' the stranger', arrives at the nearby inn owned by Mr. and Mrs. Hall of the English village of Iping, West Sussex, during a snowstorm. The stranger wears a long sleeved, heavy coat and gloves; his face is actually hidden entirely by bandages except for a prosthetic nose, and he wears a wide brimmed hat. He's excessively reclusive, unfriendly, irascible, and introverted.

What's The Invisible Man metaphor?

Because the narrator is actually black, whites refuse to see him as an actual, three dimensional person; hence, he portrays himself as invisible and describes them as blind.
