Invisible Man being nameless

I think that it is interesting how the narrator if Invisible Man remained nameless throughout the whole story. Everyone wants to be seen and heard. In this narrator's case it did not happen to often. The people in the story recognized that he was present, but never gave him a chance. Throughout the story it was like a roller coaster, the narrator had so many ups and downs. He would rise by giving these remarkable speeches, since that would be his highest strength, people would listen, but nothing would be done after the fact that he spoke. He would always present important views and points but never went after them. He reminded me of a Martin Luther King Jr. because he was a man who was not afraid to speak his mind. The only difference is that Martin actually went after his dream, it was eventually achieved. The narrator does not really do anything to go after his dream, it is something there. I feel even maybe the author of the book made it unattainable so that the narrator would remain nameless and invisible. Everyone in literature and society wants to be heard and seen. No one wants to be invisible, everyone wants that attention so other people can see them. In Invisible Man, the narrator's name is never given, not even hinted at. I believe that the author wanted the narrator to remain nameless because he wanted to tell society that this is what happens when you do not go out and strive for the goals that you set. These goals must be achieved at all cost. In today's society I feel there is a great mix of the go getters in society and the lazy people who do not strive for anything. I think that there are unfortunately more lazy people. This has to do with the Invisible Man because he did strive for certain goals but did not capitalize on them. Hence he was nameless throughout the book because he never accomplished anything significant. I think that I sometimes can appear as invisible because I do not reach for some of my goals that I set and become lazy, but I still have a name and I do complete the more important goals in life. This is why I believe the narrator was nameless throughout the novel.
