The invisible one is a classic of American literature. It is a story of an invisible, unnamed man. He can not see the word or the body. Invisible is literally because he is ignored by the mainstream society. Invisible things are also symbolic. "I am invisible, understanding, because people refuse to see me" (Ellison 3). The reason for not seeing is his race. Because the hero - the invisible person - is black. When the audience interacts with society and people around it, the audience can see the event. Despite his relationship with him, the world is still ignoring him. At the beginning of the book, he has symbolic invisibility At the end of the book, he really does not look. Stealing electricity from the city, he lives in the basement, not seen by other people in the world. In many respects, Ellison compares the meaning of invisibility and the meaning of black.
