Invisible Man: Innocence vs Evil

This novel is a prime example for my belief that all humans are born good and innocent, and only turn bad and evil later in the future due to certain circumstances. Our narrator, whom we never learn his name, is a simple, young, black adult who tries to always do good. He has good intentions to be the best and most successful person he can be, but has certain societal limitations that are holding him back.  He takes advice from his Grandfather to just listen and nod to the white man, because he has all the power and can eventually help you in the end if your worthy enough. The narrator, throughout the book, is good and doesn't do much to harm others in any type of way. He even gets a job to help the African American community in Harlem, New York. He encounters many situations that could change his character and identity into a villain, yet his strong, personal character shows him to stick to his beliefs and only good will come out of it.
