In "The Invisible Man" by H. G. Wells, a character is depicted as engaging in a contemplative yet restless behavior. After lighting the dining-room lamp, he takes out a cigar and starts to pace the room, indicating a moment of deep thought or agitation. This scene suggests a sense of urgency or frustration, reflecting his internal conflict or emotional turmoil.
The act of pacing, combined with his outbursts, emphasizes the character's struggle with his situation or the weight of his thoughts. The setting of the dining room, typically associated with warmth and gathering, contrasts with the isolation he feels, highlighting the tension between his external environment and internal state.
