The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison

Order Description

If the South is hell, the North is purgatory. The Invisible Man’s crazy day at Liberty Paints is in many ways the symbolic center of the novel.
Interpret:
1) His meeting with Kimbro and the lesson on paint mixing, 2) his conversation and altercation with Brockway and 3) the forgotten-name lobotomy scene. Explain the larger importance of 1, 2 and 3. Focus on the Invisible Man’s quest for identity and/or the ways 2 and 3 reflect the diversity and difficulty of life in America.
