However, invisibility doesn’t come from racism alone. Ultimately, the narrator is forced to retreat to his hole, siphoning off the light from the white-owned power company, itself a symbol of an underground resistance that may go unacknowledged for a long time. The narrator recognizes his invisibility slowly-in moments like the hospital machine, when he realizes he is being asked to respond to the question of who he is in terms of his blackness.

Invisible Man is the story of a young man searching for his identity, unsure about where to turn to define himself. ![]() ![]() ![]() OL1174764W Page_number_confidence 96.30 Pages 326 Partner Innodata Pdf_module_version 0.0.7 Ppi 300 Rcs_key 24143 Republisher_date 20210204104150 Republisher_operator Republisher_time 583 Scandate 20210201062743 Scanner Scanningcenter cebu Scribe3_search_catalog isbn Scribe3_search_id 0099072408 Tts_version 4. ![]() Urn:lcp:devilridesout0000whea:epub:8efe1000-d5df-4952-920d-ce5dab7178c0 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier devilridesout0000whea Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t1dk5j25g Invoice 1652 Isbn 0099072408 Lccn 75315530 Ocr tesseract 4.1.1 Ocr_detected_lang en Ocr_detected_lang_conf 1.0000 Ocr_detected_script Latin Ocr_detected_script_conf 1.0000 Ocr_module_version 0.0.11 Ocr_parameters -l eng Old_pallet IA-NS-2000213 Openlibrary_edition Shepherd is a community of 7,000+ authors sharing their favorite books with the world.
