Speeches #5
After the invisible man's insight into the actuality of society, under the guise of "Rinehart," his conversation with Brother Hambro presents a stark contrast in the quondam perspective of the Brotherhoods ideals. When prompted with question of escalating violence in the narrator's district, it is divulged that they will be "sacrificed" for the "larger plan" (pg.501).However, this is something the invisible man deems impermissible; contemplating if they have been "duped by the Brotherhood as by Rinehart" (pg.502). This illustrates the "gulf" that "Rinehart had opened... between them" (pg. 501). The ability to transition between the different perspectives of society broached an issue for the invisible man; Scientific and manipulative steering of the Brotherhood binds those who form "society." It is believed "impossible" not to take advantage of them in their own "best interest" (pg. 504). This establishes the group as a force that seeks to generate destruction, and prolong an endless cycle with their " new society," or rebirth (pg. 502).
