dc.description.abstract | This research work examines the profound narrative of Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, a journey from invisibility to self-enlightenment, shedding light on African Americans’ identity struggle and their quest for recognition through Ellison’s protagonist. Ralph Ellison’s seminal work captures the journey of a nameless African American hero who seems lost in a society plagued by oppression and racial discrimination. This extended essay analyses the protagonist’s physical and psychological transformation at the hands of his racist society by employing two theories: Critical Race Theory, which focuses on the protagonist’s relationship with his society, and psychoanalytic criticism, which delves into the protagonist’s psychological transformation. This extended essay also seeks to describe the protagonist’s transformation trajectory from his metaphorical invisibility and blindness to maturation and self-enlightenment through a harsh and painful journey that made him reconsider his perspective on his society and the people around him. By the end, the protagonist’s profound metamorphosis by the story’s conclusion is proof of the transformative nature of his experiences. This analysis uncovers the difficulties of his success, illustrating that while he gains a significant degree of self-awareness and enlightenment, his journey reveals the challenges he faces along his quest for identity and recognition in a racially divided society. Not only did he manage to embrace his invisibility, but he also transformed his perspective towards his people and society. | en_US |
