Invisible Man

Invisible Man....hmmm where to start? I still do not have a complete grasp on this text yet. It is robust with allusions and meaning which makes it even harder to completely understadn the protagnist and the plot at times. So far;however, I have kept trak of a few motifs and conflicts that I am seeing play out in the text. First off, I think there is an important parallel between educated and noneducated blacks. At the Golden Day, the veterans refer to the protagonist as "school boy". I think this is supposed to be derogatory towards him. It is as if they resenthim because he is trying to get an education. Something to think about further into the book.The next interesting relationship I have noticed is that between the anonymous protagonist (or should I say antagonist???  I will just refer to him as the protagonist for now.) I am not quite sure at the moment) and Mr. Norton, a successful white male that the protagonist is chauffering at the moment. I think the protagonist wants to believe that Mr. norton is different than other white people in society;however, I believe that he holds the same prejudices as the majority of the white class during this time.The protagonist really irks me I have recently discovered. You expect that in a seemingly repressive, racially conscious society that the protagonist would connect more with his own race. However, he is so so so ancious over making himself appealing to the "white man" and pleasing them. He is concerned with this so much so that any blaack person that he meets, he expresses almost a deep rooted animosity or disapporval to them if they conduct themselves in a way that he deems unpleasant in the company of 'white folk". For instance, Mr. Norton meets Trueblood, and really wants to hear his story which he tells very candidly. However, the protagonist is so worried about what he will think when he finds out that Trueblood raped his own daughter.He tries to rush him syaing theat they better get back to campis but Mr. Norton waves his hand away in annoyance. There is a situation of dramatic irony in which the protagonist is aware of Trueblood's story but Mr. norton is blindly unaware of his indiscretions. Teh protagonist possibly does not want black people to look lowly or uncivilized in teh eyes of the white class. Because in this society whites hold teh power, I believe the protagonist feels he has to abide by a certain standard in order to be accepted by them. He is perturbed that people like Trueblood and others at the Golden Day do not seem to censor their conduct in front of white people. thus, I asked my self, why does he seem to be the only black person thus far who is so concerned with being accepted by a class that does not accept him? He says in the porlogue that people do not see him. I interpreted this to mean that "him" is referred to hjis conscious or soul. Thus, he  is overlooked for teh sake of his outward skin color. Maybe he is just trying to better himself in a society where blacks can only hope to rise out of their condition (if even a little bit) by serving the white, superior class. I see his waiting on Mr. Norton and being so concerned with every move he makes in front of him as a form of slavery in itself. He is sacrificing his true self for teh sake of someone else's pleasure (at least I assume he does not wish to do this kind of work ideally).
