Battle Royal, by Ralph Ellison

In the 1940s, apartheid occupied the living in the southern United States of America. The idea of ​​separating blacks from white caused a great tension. Another fountain, bathroom, restaurant and so on are variables that help to stand out the race. The southern "Jack Crow" law aims to prevent blacks from voting. These laws, in combination with isolated educational systems, have planted a sense that blacks are not equal "isolated" (174). Because of Caucasian action, many people of color can not survive during this time.

From "Royal Battle" excerpted by "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison, Ellison clarified the adverse effects of racial discrimination and apartheid using an anonymous hero. An unknown hero lives based on what he is and is about to survive and prosper in a society that should not exist. The blindness and invisibility of the invisible people is based not only on the color of his skin but also on the direct result of prejudice facing the white society. The Caucasian community could not see the color of the invisible skin and they could not see the black stereotypes. A white male character appearing in the "Battle of War" is an easily affected white man, threatening vulnerable people who are not afraid of anything.
