A Critical Literary Analysis of Race and Identity in The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
This paper will present a critical literary analysis of race and identity in The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. By analyzing the main character, "The Invisible Man", we can surely see that Ellison portrays an unnecessarily polarized view of African American culture that makes him appear to support white racist beliefs about black institutions in nineteen fifties American society. By processing the invisible man through a never ending series of debacles in his schooling and activist life, we can see Ellison's negative view of is own race vilifying racist attitudes in white supremacy.
