《看不见的人》的主题是更明显的无形主题。埃里森通过音乐的运用，如爵士乐的形式，探索了隐形控制的时刻或经历。这种可见性的突破意味着主人公有机会逃脱，打破所谓的“宪法可见性”的模式，从而探索自己的身份和个性。一种个性和身份，它不以任何方式局限于被普遍接受为可见的东西。在小说的开头，主人公回忆起一件事:有一次，我看见一位职业拳击手在和一个乡下佬拳击。这架战斗机速度很快，而且具有惊人的科学性。他的身体剧烈地、有节奏地运动着。他打了那个乡巴佬一百下，乡巴佬吃惊地举起胳膊。但突然，乡巴佬……打了一拳……聪明的钱赚到了。远射得到了首肯。那个乡巴佬只不过是闯入了对手的时间观念。通过这样一篇文章，读者可以看到有一种替代科学方法。乡巴佬利用时间和空间来战胜科学的暴力，让创造力获得成功。科学的局限性是通过分析和解释不同情况的能力来克服的。例如，乡巴佬有能力进入职业拳击手的时间框架，从而为胜利提供一种不同的策略。能把创造性和原创性结合起来的人。就像《看不见的人》将路易斯·阿姆斯特朗的音乐与冷藏库的结合，发现了一种非传统的聆听阿姆斯特朗音乐的方式，从而提供了一种新的解读方式。
加拿大论文代写:看不见的人
The main theme within the ‘invisible man’ is that of the more obvious theme of invisibility. Ellison explores through the use of music such as in the form of jazz the moments or experiences where invisibility takes control. Such breaks in visibility signify a chance for the protagonist to escape and break the mould of the what can be called ‘constitutional visibility’ allowing for the exploration of ones own identity and individuality. An individuality and identity that is not in any way restricted to what is generally accepted as visible.Such breaks that allow for such explorations to take place within the novel can be seen from the very beginning where in the prologue the protagonist recalls a certain incident:Once I saw a prize-fighter boxing a yokel. The fighter was swift and amazingly scientific. His body was one violent flow of rapid rhythmic action. He hit the yokel a hundred times while the yokel held up his arms in stunned surprise. But suddenly the yokel … struck one blow …. The smart money hit the canvas. The long shot got the nod. The yokel had simply stepped inside of the opponent’s sense of time.Through such a passage the reader is able to see that there is an alternative to the scientific approach. The yokel uses time and space in order to overpower the violence of science allowing creativity to achieve success. The restriction imposed by science is overcome through the ability to analyze and interpret a situation differently. In the instance it was the yokel’s ability to step into the time frame of the prize-fighter and thus provide for a different strategy towards victory. One that was able to unite creativity and originality. Rather like the same way the ‘invisible man’ uses the music of Louis Armstrong with the combination of the reefer to discover a rather unconventional way of listening to Armstrong’s music, thus in that way offering new ways of interpretation.
