Abstract
Metaphors of invisibility in The Invisible Man by H. G. Wells and Rallph Ellison Shim, Sang Wook (Jeonju Univ.) This paper is to examine the metaphors of invisibility in The Invisible Man. by H. G. Wells and Ralph Ellison. The former, Wells, a British writer, wrote it as a scientific fiction, which described Griffin as an 'invisible man' by an experiment to 'himself'. After he realized he was uncomfortable with it, he was being in process of return to the original; fought with Kemp, his counterpart, and finally died. As a scientific fiction writer he had always thought 'the human' in the future world. The later, Ralph Ellison, an African-American, also wrote it as a conforming novel, which pictured a narrator without name and 'invisible man' in the White American society. As they described 'man' as 'invisible' we are involved in a vast counterfeit world. This is not to assert that Ellison's invisible man is himself counterfeit, but to suggest he undermines whatever he says or does by his insistence on invisibility. In it the protagonist remains faceless, even nameless. Ellison has made us recognize the black in the Age of Conformity, though Karl designates 1950s is the age of counterfeit and invisibility. Consequentially, though each Wells and Ellison wrote The Invisible Man using the same title, we can read them as the former interpreted it negatively while the latter author did it positively.
