* UnbuiltTrope: Along with being the one of the first novels to have a invisible person, the novel is also one of the first to explore the numerous problems and disadvantages that would come with being invisible. Such as the fact, he can't eat and drink as they would render him visble to people along with various things such as dirt and mud. Also the fact he can't stay completely invisible in the England weather as he is naked and is forced to make people help him.

Over the course of the book he commits multiple counts of theft, arson, and at least one murder (with several others attempted and one possible: he didn't bother to check if the man survived) and all the while the main theme of his conversation is about how unfair the world is to him.

His two subordinate constables are also pretty badass, fending Griffin (who has a gun and an axe) off with fireplace pokers. They're not wholly successful, but only for the same reasons that anyone would have difficulties against an opponent who was invisible.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Griffin casually drops the N word in one scene and makes antisemitic comments about his Jewish landlord. Hard to say how much of this is ValuesDissonance and how much is a deliberate effort to make him unlikable by the relatively-progressive Wells, but it definitely comes across as this trope to modern readers.

* InhumanEyeConcealers: Griffin usually augments his BandagedFace with dark glasses in order to conceal his invisible eyes - either so he can hide his true nature while in public or so he can make himself easier to talk to in private conversations. This is usually the case in adaptations of the story as well.
