He is a Black man who puts on a mask of servility to the white community. Hence the moral of the novel, Invisible man, can be taken to be responsible and moral, when we attain great power and utilise it for the good of humanity, rather than personal gains at any cost.
Brother Jack is the leader in the brotherhood and he is also the person that invited the narrator to the brotherhood. He is white but he called other black people as brother which is very different because brother are usually mentioned among black communities.
While reprimanding the narrator for his carelessness with Norton, Bledsoe toys with an antique slave shackle, noting that it symbolizes African-American progress. Chapter 10 Anger 3: The narrator is angry with Dr. Bledsoe for betraying him and setting him up to fail. He wants to avenge himself on Dr. Bledsoe because of it. It later served as the model for the black college attended by the narrator in Invisible Man.
Invisible Man is about the process of overcoming deceptions and illusions to reach truth. One of the most important truths in the book is that the narrator is invisible to those around him. Skip to content Technology. April 23, Joe Ford. I found it interesting how he took some of thier somewhat positive qualities and showed the darker motives to these ideas. I also think the variety of the professions added to the chaos. I really enjoyed reading this chapter and thought it was much less bland than the others.
The chaotic bar fight showed us how the narrator acted under pressure and let the readers know more about his feelings toward the importance of his future in the school. By showing his devotion to the safety of Mr. Norton, we can relize that his education is the most important aspect in his life. And Supercargo is a name that only a few can pull off At first I could not figure out what The Golden Day was.
I thought it was an insane asylum at first, because all of the people there seem crazy, but I think that it is just a bar that the patients are allowed to come visit. You can tell that the narrator is very concerned about his job and school, because he cares greatly about Mr. He frantically tries to get help for him, even having the patients help him.
I think that the narrator is worried that if something happens to Mr. Norton, and the president of the college finds out, then he will get fired from his job, and possibly get kicked out of the college, which he greatly fears happening. I wonder why Mr. Norton got so sick. It could have been from the heat, but I think that it had to do with the story that Trueblood told.
I think the patients kick Supercargo because he is there to maintain order and in a way he has to watch over them and maybe it reminds them of how they were in the same position with white people looking down on them and all the built up rage against their opressors caused the backlash against Supercargo.
I also had no idea what the Golden Day was, like Kelsey and I had no idea why the people there were called patients until I read her comment about them being patients at the insane asylum which makes a lot of sense. I believe that maybe the men at the Golden Day are a forshadow for how the narrator might be when he's older. A way of taking out they're problems and anger out on someone else.
They see him as someone who is there to keep them down and to rule them, kind of like how the whites had done to the slaved. The patients find that kicking Supercargo is therapeutic because it lets them get all of their anger out. The attendant comes out drunk and starts yelling at them all. He is rude and it sounds like he treats them like dirt all the time.
After Supercargo kicks some of the patients, they get him back and enjoy it. Even the girls and employees at the bar want Supercargo to pay for how he acts.
I believe the man at the Golden Day bar calls the narrator invisible because he has no "dress up" profession. The narrator is still attending college and has no profession other than attending school.
I believe the narrator has no name so far in the novel because it helps to demonstrate his invisibility. A agree with ashley that it shows when fortune is taken aways you can end up anywhere in life.
The narrator goes to the greatest black college and ends up in an old basement "hole. The veteran in the Golden Day brings up again how people can be so blind to certain things. He tells Mr. Norton that he does not see the narrator as a intelligent black man making his way threw college but just another mark for the achievement for him.
Then the veteran goes on to say that the even the narrator thinks of Mr. Norton as a God not a man just because he is rich and white.
The significance of the wide range of pofessions at the Golden Day is that to show that any man can turn out like the men at the Golden Day.
