Invisible Man Themes & Connections

1)Inequality and Racism- inequality and Racism is a major theme of this story because of the time period in which the story takes place. The narrator knows what he is up against as well as the other black's in the community. The narrator feels invisible in ways where he feels that he is not being seen as himself but he is only judged by the color of his skin and where he comes from. : In the poem "I Too" as well being black im at the time a white America was difficult and dealt many defeats.
2)Stereotypes- Stereotypes could be applied to the poem as well as the s story because in Hughes poem he hints at stereotypes by using the conception of a black person and how we mostly ate in the kitchen rather than in the front. Another poem of Hughes that shares the same themes as The Invisible Man was Refugee in America.
