[edit] Invisible Man

Invisible Man – Chapter 6

Chapter summary

After the sermon, the narrator reluctantly heads over to Dr. Bledsoe’s office. Once there, Dr. Bledsoe reprimands the narrator for taking Mr. Norton to the old slave quarters of the campus. The narrator explains how Norton ordered him to do so, but Bledsoe counters with “…white folks are always giving orders, it’s a habit with them.” Bledsoe then proceeds to accuse the narrator of endangering the entire black race and as a punishment plans to expel him. The narrator, shocked and enraged, threatens to tell Mr. Norton that Dr. Bledsoe broke his promise not to expel him, and that he would fight the older black man need be. Bledsoe laughs and tells the narrator that no one will believe him, for he controls what the white man believes, because he tells them what they want to hear.

Character descriptions

The Narrator: The narrator is never given a name. The purpose of this anonymity is to illustrate the character’s invisibility, as the other characters that know him on a human to human level are few and far between. The other characters hardly ever identify the narrator as a human being, but rather constrict him to categories based upon stereotypes and social hierarchies. The novel follows the narrator through a struggle of personal identity and social perception as he embarks on a journey from his college to Harlem. The ominous words of his Grandfather always haunt him, telling him not to be a yes man. The narrator ultimately abandons his former life, isolating himself from the cage of white society and society in general.

Dr. Bledsoe: Dr. Bledsoe is the president of the college that the narrator attends at the beginning of the novel. The narrator first admires the man and strives to be like him one day, but this image is quickly shattered after Bledsoe expels him from the school for showing Mr. Norton the slave quarters of the college grounds. Bledsoe is at the top in his power and refuses to let anyone or anything gain an opportunity to usurp him. He sends letters to employers in Manhattan as to keep the narrator from getting anywhere close to the school again.

Mr. Norton: Mr. Norton is an old white benefactor of the college. He asks the narrator, his driver for the day, to take him to the old slave quarters of the college grounds. He had a daughter who died on holiday in Europe, and whom he also committed incest with, and since then has had a savior complex for the black community. He states that his destiny is intertwined with the black people, but this illusion is shattered at his meeting with Jim Trueblood, who casts a darker shadow of the community. He becomes sick, and as a result the narrator rushes him to the Golden Day for a shot of whiskey. However, mental patients inhabit the building. Disaster ensues, and Norton is scared witless. This incident results in the narrator’s expulsion from the college.

Setting description

The college campus is described as a beautiful place with ivy-covered walls, but the true nature is quickly revealed after the incident with Mr. Norton and Dr. Bledsoe. The pristine campus is nothing more than a mask worn by people the likes of Norton and Bledsoe in order to cover past sins or gain power.

Quotes

“Lights began to appear in the girls’ dormitories, like the bursting of luminous seeds flung broadside by an invisible hand.” (136)

“Nigger, this isn’t the time to lie. I’m no white man. Tell me the truth!” – Bledsoe to narrator (139)

“I’s big and black and I say ‘Yes, suh’ as loudly as any burrhead when it’s convenient, but I’m still the king down here.” – Bledsoe to narrator (142)
