An extremely powerful story of a young Southern Negro, from his late high school days through three years of college to his life in Harlem. His early training prepared him for a life of humility before white men, but through injustices- large and small, he came to realize that he was an "invisible man". People saw in him only a reflection of their preconceived ideas of what he was, denied his individuality, and ultimately did not see him at all. This theme, which has implications far beyond the obvious racial parallel, is skillfully handled. The incidents of the story are wholly absorbing. The boy's dismissal from college because of an innocent mistake, his shocked reaction to the anonymity of the North and to Harlem, his nightmare experiences on a one-day job in a paint factory and in the hospital, his lightning success as the Harlem leader of a communistic organization known as the Brotherhood, his involvement in black versus white and black versus black clashes and his disillusion and understanding of his invisibility- all climax naturally in scenes of violence and riot, followed by a retreat which is both literal and figurative. Parts of this experience may have been told before, but never with such freshness, intensity and power. This is Ellison's first novel, but he has complete control of his story and his style. Watch it.

It's amazing my Whyte college professor only had us black students read the battle royal she said the rest didn't matter but course hero didn't even touch on the symbolism or even address that part of the story. It seems to me the whole story is not being addressed.

Euel Arden said his novel, Down Here in the Warmth was loosely written as a modern continuation of Invisible man. i.e. the protagonist in IM ends up living in a hole. (underground coal bin) and in DHITW the protagonist is a recluse who eventually rises out of his own hole and faces his fears and learns that he has much to offer and help the next generation. the novel also deals with riots, and militia and the aftermath from both sides of the racial divide. Its an amazing novel and Arden just seems to be riffing with all the styles and tenses he uses throughout the book. highly recommended.

There are some interesting commentary about Invisible Man in this video. Not really profound, but kind of matter a factly describing the book. The one glaring downside is how redundant it is. At the end the characters are described in exactly the same language used to describe them earlier in the video.

I don't know if you still need to know but we know that he is light skinned because when he is first recruited into the Brotherhood, a lady present is concerned with the narrator's ability to serve their purpose in Harlem due to his lighter tone, as it was common for other African Americans to dismiss the opinions of more light skinned people among their own race

Ellison was trying to bring attention to the systemic problem of racism that stops people from being seen as more than the color of their skin and their heritage, and not individuals, if that color is anything other than white. You are forced to fit stereotypes that people will put you in and you can’t escape what it means forever, not while we don’t change the structure society stands on.

This is the most disappointing summary of this book that I could imagine. There is some information of value here, but nobody watching this will come close to understanding what this book is really about. You cannot try to explain a book of ideas by using the framework of a plot driven summary.

It’s not meant to be a substitute for reading the book. It’s a brief overview. And a fairly good one. Nothing is going to give a full understanding of the novel, except the novel itself. You’re criticism is pretty ridiculous.
