Donovan Harris

The three prevalent themes of "Invisible Man"

The three prevalent themes throughout the novel are: Identity, power, and race

Identity is a prevalent theme throughout this novel because the narrator is constantly trying to find his own identity in a world of racism and inequality

Power is another prevalent theme throughout this novel due to the endless power struggle. Said power struggle is between blacks and whites. Blacks were struggling for power, while whites held the most power

Race is the third prevalent theme throughout this novel due to how divided blacks and whites were. In the novel blacks were "separate but equal"

these three prevalent themes correspond to two literary works: "I too", and "refuge in America"
They are relatable due to the similarities between these two literary works
