Question

Attempt a character sketch of Marvel.

Solution

Thomas Marvel was a large man of flexible appearance. He had a nose of cylindrical protrusion, a fluctuating mouth and a bristly beard. His figure was well-rounded and his short limbs accentuated this propensity towards a rotund figure. He dressed in the attire of a bachelor.  Marvel was one day sitting by himself and contemplating upon the poor condition of his shoes when he encountered the Invisible Man as the Voice who succeeded in bullying him into becoming his reluctant accomplice. Marvel was distraught and harried from his time with the Invisible Man. He wanted to be let out and continually offered his resignation but to no avail. The Invisible Man wanted to use him as a tool. However, Marvel was not willing to be made a tool and he decided to snivel and grovel his way out of his predicament. He became the chink in the armour for the Invisible Man as he held the key to the three manuscript books that would help the latter perpetuate his state of invisibility. If Marvel hadn't turned on the Invisible Man and given himself up to the police, the Invisible Man would not have been apprehended in his demonic task of unleashing a reign of terror. Eventually, Thomas Marvel became the landlord of a little inn near Port Stowe and retained his ill-begotten ownership over the Invisible Man's prized possessions.
