I am the Narrator from Invisible Man, and I want to be a real man. I want to be an acting citizen in my community, nation, and world. I want people to look at me as if my skin was the same as theirs. People will want to hear my voice and listen to my opinions. I will have the power to improve the community’s standards for all.
I am Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby, and I want to be loved. Daisy is the love of my life and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I tried to win her love with materialistic items but it all crumbled down. I should have just told her the truth from the beginning. I need to be more honest.
Both of these two main characters needed to be more honest to themselves and others. Society transformed both of these people into something that they are not. The main difference is that the Narrator was being forced to act in different ways because it was the way of African-American lives back then. Gatsby did it to impress a girl.
