Ralph Ellison/The Dream at the end of "Battle Royal"
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that discusses "Battle Royal," which is a chapter within Ralph Ellison's classic novel Invisible Man. The novel's protagonist is an unnamed African American man who begins his story by stating that he is socially invisible to mainstream American culture, "I am an invisible man" (Ellison 441). He explains in the first paragraph of "Battle Royal" that this knowledge did not come to him automatically, not as a "realization everyone else appears to have been born with," he had to learn it for himself and this was an excruciatingly painful journey of self discovery, of which the battle royal, which is described in this narrative, was the first awful step (Ellison 441). The chapter concludes with the narrator relating a dream, which he initially does not understand on a conscious level. The dream presents images that clearly indicate that on a subconscious level, the narrator is beginning to understand his grandfather's enigmatic deathbed message and the fact that he, and all black people, were at that time socially invisible.
