Invisible Man Themes

  The three prevalent themes throughout the novel thus far is racism, true identity, and ambitious. The reason that I choose racism as my theme is because the narrator had experienced racism of others at the battal royal. In the beginning of the novel, he referenced Booker T Washington in his speech saying that blacks should cooperate with the whites that are in power. The reason for true identity is that a young man wanted to know how to define himself and it clearly shows that the young men is looking for his true identify and despite the narrator's claim at the beginning of the novel, I don't think that it is something that he necessary chosen. The reason for ambitious is that the novel is building into a series of hopes and desperate expectations, like his promise for a college that is unknown at this time.
