The Invisible Man decides to take a job at a paint plant in
order to fund his plan of revenge on Dr. Bledsoe. As he is on his way to his
first day of work he says, “I crossed a bridge in the fog to get there and came
down in a stream of workers,” (chapter 10). The fog represents his figuratively
clouded vision, which hinders him from seeing the strength of the prejudices at
Liberty Paint, as well as in America. The Invisible Man believes that Dr.
Bledsoe is at fault for his trouble in finding a job, when the reason for him
not getting hired could very well be because of his skin color. He does not
realize the prejudices between whites and blacks, because he believes that the
prejudices are personally against him.
