So. After two weeks. I have finished “Invisible Man”. I have a lot of opinions and thoughts about this book, but one thing is clear. The message was profound and blaring and loud. The many characters all represented a facet of society that tells the black man what to do and what to feel. They are, essentially, an invisible creature. People who are pushed around by ideologies and different agendas by different groups proclaiming “equality” or “justice” or “fairness”. The Invisible Man tries to be who he is not. He tries to be everything and anything these people demand for him to be, but he realizes that it was all for naught. He is an outsider yet an insider, but a whole different thing altogether. He knows that although people may not know it yet, he is speaking for them too. I just hope the masses realize this and give him the proper acknowledgement.
Gooooood book.
