摘要:拉尔夫•埃利森是美国小说家,散文家,短篇小说作家,评论家。他在美国已经被公认为是当代最重要的作家,他的著名小说《看不见的人》是出版物之一。
se of this, he was driven out of this school. Even though the hero protested, Mr. Bledsoe told him "You are nobody, son. You do not exist---can't you see that? The white folk tell everybody what to think---except men like me. I tell them; that is my life, telling white folk how to think about the things I know about. Shocks you, doesn't it? Well, that is the way it is." [1] In the eyes of the white people, black man wanted to prove their ability by changing the world. This was presented by those like Mr. Bledsoe who shows what the while American wanted to see. In fact the white people just wanted to see what they wished to see. But for the black, they lived in this society. They had no equality with the white American. So the truth of the black people as well as the narrator was invisible to the white people.
In the University, the hero tried his best to be excellent. But he was cheated by the black present Mr. Bledsoe. The coldness of the society crushed his dream. He was invisible to the American society.
2.2 Invisibility in New York
The hero brought the seven letters to go to New York to look for a job. In this city, sometimes the white people rejected him, and maybe they would immediately apologize to him. But the hero feels that "even they were polite they hardly saw me, that they would have begged the pardon of Jack the Bear, never glancing his way if the bear happened to be walking along minding his business. It was confusing. I did not know if it was desirable or undesirable..."[2] Was this state of invisibility the result of his being black? Exactly not, it was because of the civilized society. In this society, all the people had formed the habit of mechanical courtesy. In another world this was because of the individual invisibility.
Later the hero found a job in a paint plan. In there he had an unpleasant experience because people saw himjust his imposed identity not the feature himself. In this paint plan the boss employed the black youth with low price just to fire the skilled labor who should be employed with higher price. So the hero was seen as the scab in the eyes of the workers. The union members in this paint plan treated him very bad. They thought him as an opponent while his supervisor suspects him of spying for the union. This was because of his delaying to return by breaking into one meeting accidently. Then a designed accident was happened. A bomb took place and the hero was taken to a hospital.
In the hospital, the doctors regarded him as test products. They just wanted to do an operation on his head to cut off his brain to change his opinion about the society and to change him to a tamable person. For a long period of time, the hero lost himself. He did not know who he was and he could not remember his own name. "Whoever else I was, I was no Samson. I had no desire to destroy myself even if it destroyed the machine; I wanted freedom, not destruction. It was exhausting, for no matter what the scheme I conceived, there was one constant flaw---myself. There was no getting around it. I could no more escape than I could think of my identity. When I discover who I am, I will be free." [3] This was the rejection to his humanity and his dignity. He became the truth invisible man in the eyes of the society. This showed that in this society, the black people were staying in the bottom. They had no right and no freedom. So they were controlled by
