Invisible Man Needs To Grow A Pair

I just finished the 14th chapter of Invisible Man and I still don't know what it's about other than the sorry pathetic life of a black dude. I'm supposed to feel all this sympathy for him because he is black? No freaking way.

He doesn't even have a name because he doesn't know what his own identity is. How do you live your life without an identity? A person can be confused about their purpose in life, or the meaning of life because those require higher level thinking, but you have to be brain dead to not have a basic understanding of your personality and what you identity with.

He is gullible and lets people use him. Supposedly it was how he was raised. I don't buy it. He lets people walk all over him. He doesn't stand up for himself. If someone handed him a box and told him there were rainbows inside, he would believe it.

That's his own fault. He's not standing up for himself. He doesn't give anything; he doesn't try at all. The author expects us to feel sorry for someone who doesn't even make the slightest effort to stand up for himself. And I'm told it's a black man's journey and a type of awakening. Well he needs an awakening to something called reality.

When you find out someone is an ass, what do you do? Well if you are the narrator you let him feed you candy coated words after you've been betrayed and then freak out when you find out it was a lie. Then you get all set up for revenge because of how you've been treated.

No, I feel no sympathy for this dude. He just pisses me off.
