One obvious theme that I picked up when I read Invisible Man was the theme of invisibility. I think the theme of invisibility has different meanings to it. One meaning is that invisibility suggests the unwillingness of others to see the individual as a person. The narrator is invisible because people see in him only what they want to see‚ not what he really is. Invisibility‚ in this meaning‚ has a strong sense of racial prejudice. White people often do not see black people as individual human beings

The Complex man The theory on the complex nature of man was posited by Maslow who averred that man’s needs fall into a hierarchy of relative prepotency. Needs range from the most basic physiological to the most intricate psychological state of self-realization. A need ceases to be potent when it is met and man strives to satisfy the next rung of needs. People are variable in what motivates them. Their self-motivation changes from time to time‚ and through time‚ and from situation to situation
