An Analysis of the Nameless Protagonist's Path to Trauma Recovery in Invisible Man
As a representative work of Ralph Ellison,a well-known African American writer,In-visible Man depicts the story of a nameless black youth who suffers from racial discrimination in a white-dominated society,goes through various hardships and traumas,and constantly searches for his self-identity.American scholar Judith Herman's theory of trauma and recovery explains in detail the three stages of trauma healing for trauma victims,which is instructive in exploring the nameless protagonist's path to trauma recovery.The traumatic experience of the protagonist runs through the whole text,and interpreting the theme of trauma can help readers better understand the plot of the novel.At the same time,the trauma research focusing on the black race can not only dig and understand the historical pain of this group,but also stimulate the public to reflect on the survival value and current situation of the A-merican ethnic groups represented by African Americans.
