Explanation and Analysis:

The Invisible Man starts in early February in a village called Iping. Iping actually exists in the English countryside, within the county of West Sussex. In the story, the people of Iping are provincial and a caricature of small-town Britons. They speak in thick accents, are quick to believe outlandish stories, and are quick to forget them, too.
