Invisibility

The first line in Invisible Man is "I am an invisible man." while I have finished about half of the book, I cannot get past this first line, or the first chapter (actually the prologue) really. The narrators story about how he kills a man, merely for bumping into him and then not adknowledging him (presumably because he cannot see the narrator). The narrator (whose invisibility is only contributed to by the fact that he does not have a name in the book) asserts that the reason that he is invisible is because he is black. What I really have to wonder is whether or not he makes an effort to be seen. Yes, he beats up a man, which most would say would cause the man to see the narrator, but the narrator strikes him before the man even has a though about what is about to happen.
Ok, so this post has taken me 3 hours so far. I'm sorry, but I can't think of an Invisible Man while Pairs Free Skating is on. Yes, a sad excuse indeed for this post being made at 11:59 (I'm frantically typing here) but I only get to see this once every two years. AND the Chinese couple thats married just won Gold. Which is amazing because despite the little mistakes, their program was gorgous (which I know I spelled wrong, I just don't know how to spell it right.)
HAMLET! Ok, so, Prince Hamlet. I thought that the ending in Romeo and Juliet was kind of chintzy. But HAMLET! Now, thats tragedy. Its not just the lovers that die, EVERYONE dies, except for Hamlet's closest friend and advisor, who almost kills himself, but doesn't in order to tell Hamlet's story. The only character in the play who has not greviously sinned or gone 'mad' has died, which, as twisted as it sounds, would put the world back in order.
Which is odd considering the entire royal family dies.
