- Abstract:
- Explores the invisible man, in Ralph Ellison's "The Invisible Man," as borrowing upon associations of patriarchal maleness, in the sense Ann Douglas in her "Terrible Honesty" argues 20s modern's did, to secure freedom from feelings of entrapment by maternal figures, whose near-proximity to him is expressed in the text as often incestuous, gross; body-oppressive and engulfing.
