Jesus Christ     The Invisible Man alludes to Jesus Christ with his use of the language light and truth.  Jesus Christ stated, “I am the way, the truth, and the light.”  The Invisible Man becomes a Christ figure in the novel.  In the epilogue the Invisible Man states, “I must come out, I must emerge.”  He is planning to return to the world with the intention of illuminating those who have remained blind and invisible for so long.
The Invisible Man also plays the Christ figure in his descent.  The Invisible Man descends into darkness just as Christ descends to Earth as well as Hell after his death.  The epilogue points to the Invisible Man’s resurrection.
