Response Question 4 - Deconstruction

Reflecting on your reading in Ellison's Invisible Man, seize upon a particular passage or issue related to the narrator's identity. Then summarize the issues a deconstructive analysis of this example might raise.  Think in particular about the relations of identity between the narrator and the groups with which he becomes affiliated. Does the novel assert (and the narrator aspire to) a stable identity for this character? In what ways does the novel seem to undermine the prospect for achieving such a stable selfhood? (And does it do so only as a function of particular racial situations or in a more systematic manner?)
