Can you interpret this literary analysis?

While each critic’s attitude and perspective of the novel’s theme are valid and contain accurate historical and factual support from the characteristics of Wells’ time period, they lack the insights of the context and nuances of the intimate opinions and goals of Wells himself. For this reason they approach the theme based on an almost biased standpoint that criticizes science from a narrowed point of view as an entity to be feared and apprehended. With this absence in distinguishing these motives and personal beliefs in Wells, one forfeits to observe the similarities and parallels between Wells and the invisible man. This parallelism allows Wells to speak his own conceptions on the political and social aspects of his time by displacing his own judgments onto the judgments and actions of his fictional character.
