Based on the narrator's description, the reader can infer he thinks that:

C. People's beliefs influence what they see.

  • "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison develops the themes of racism and black identity.
  • The narrator begins by saying people cannot see him. They can see anything else, even figments of their imagination, but not him.
  • The reason for that is not that people hallucinate. It is their beliefs which are blinding them.
  • The narrator is a black man. The color of his skin is what makes him invisible.
  • But it shouldn't be. It is because of people's prejudice toward him that he feels invisible.
