Ralph Ellison's novel, Invisible Man, embodies many villains that the narrator (the main character) faces. Dr. Bledsoe and Brother Jack are just two of the villains who use and take advantage of the narrator. After each confrontation with his enemies, the narrator matures and grows his personality. Through his words, the reader can see the narrator's development in realizing that he is invisible simply because people refuse to see him. Bledsoe or "Old Bucket-head" as people called him, "was the example of everything I hoped to be..." the narrator described. He was a "leader of his people", owned two Cadilacs, and had a "good-looking, creamy-complexioned wife". When the narrator returns after dropping off Mr. Norton, Dr. Bledsoe immediately scolds him for bringing Mr. Norton (a founder and administrator of the narrator's college) to the slave quarter section. Even though Mr. Norton had told Dr. Bledsoe that the narrator was not responsible for what happened, Dr. Bledsoe ordered the narrator to meet him later that day. When the narrator met Bledsoe again, he saw Bledsoe's true nature. Bledsoe was even more upset now that he had discovered that the narrator had also accompanied Mr. Norton to the Golden Day. The narrator tried to explain the circumstances, but Bledsoe did not believe the explanation. “Everyone knows the only way to please a white man is to tell him a lie!” Bledsoe exclaimed. In an angry fury, Bledsoe called the narrator a "nigger." Extremely offended and overwhelmed, the narrator described, “It was like he thought he had hit me… He called me that…” The narrator t… in the middle of the paper… looked at him. He realized that Jack had never truly seen him, had never truly acknowledged his existence as a human being (Emerson uses the glass eye as a key symbol). By the end of the chapter, the narrator had evolved into something more like a true self explaining to himself, “After tonight I would never look the same, or feel the same.” Bledsoe and Jack matured the narrator and made him have a better understanding of himself and his surroundings. Through his hard journey to self-realization, the narrator realized that Bledsoe and Jack, whom he admired and respected, were actually his enemies. They never saw or thought of the narrator as the intelligent, gifted, and godly person he was. At the novel's conclusion, the narrator finally realized that he had truly been invisible all along.
