Invisibility in the Invisible ManInvisibility is usually taken to the extreme effect of being truly transparent, invisible to anyone and is often depicted in society as the hero, who acts behind the enemy to complete his mission. In Ralph Ellison's The Invisible Man this view of invisibility is reversed so that a man is there for all to see but, due to lack of observation, no one recognizes what he accomplishes. After starting the novel as a man who sits quietly on the sidelines doing what he's told, he is forced to leave and mold his "power" into another use. This change now puts him in a position where he relates more to the concept of society's invisibility, one who fights for fairer rights without anyone noticing him. Our nameless hero takes us on a journey that extends both the concepts of pacifist and invisible aggressor. The first "form" of our main character that we see is that of an anxious college student who just wants to please his superiors and do what they ask of him. Seemingly the perfect student, an incident occurs with a college board member and involves our narrator's passive use of invisibility which infuriates the school principal. The ensuing disagreement included this statement: "Power doesn't have to show off. Power is confident, self-assured, starts and stops itself, warms up and justifies itself. When you have it, you know" that it is stated by school principal Dr. Bledsoe (Ellison 143). The first part of the quote is Bledoe's idea of ​​invisibility and what the narrator will learn in the end, which is that having power and invisibility can coincide with each other. The continuation of the quote continues to further expand on how one can be “invisible” and successful as long as one has these basic ideas like self-confidence and self-justification. This discussion with Bledsoe opens the narrator's eyes to the real world and shows that being right does not mean having power and without power you are nobody and remain invisible. A point of change in the eyes of the main character occurs when his moral rectitude changes. and sees that to be successful you may have to give up morals to gain support.
