Invisible Man (novel): Difference between revisions

Line 35:

* [[The Plan]]: Several kinds.

* [[Powder Keg Crowd]]: one of the main character's few skills is to manipulate these. Ras can do so too.

* [[Seemingly Wholesome Fifties Girl]]: Sybil is a funny case in that she would qualify as [[The Ingenue]] if it weren't for her rape fantasies. (As the victim, mind you, not the rapist--she's utterly smothered by her life, and wants something wild.)

* [[Seemingly-Wholesome Fifties Girl]]: Sybil is a funny case in that she would qualify as [[The Ingenue]] if it weren't for her rape fantasies. (As the victim, mind you, not the rapist--she's utterly smothered by her life, and wants something wild.)

* [[Self-Made Man]]: Bledsoe is one ({{spoiler|or at least pretends to be one, given how much he lies and schemes}}), while the title character tries to become one.

* [[Stepford Smiler]]: hoo boy. There are ''so'' many black characters to whom this applies, and an awful lot of the Brotherhood fits it too.

* [[Take That]]: to Horatio Alger, among others.

* [[The All Concealing I]]

* [[The All-Concealing "I"]]

* [[The Chessmaster]]: both {{spoiler|Bledsoe and Brother Jack}} qualify. Each is also a [[Villain With Good Publicity]].

* [[The Ditz]]: Trueblood, among others.
