"Without light I am
not only invisible, but formless as well; and to be unaware of one’s form
is to live a death."
The Invisible Man claims that light is
truth and without light he is formless. Light, which is often described
as white, is colorless. The Invisible Man claims that colorlessness
is the nature of the very thing that gives birth to life, truth, and form.
Thus, the Invisible Man reveals that the perception of him should be colorless.
In a world guided by truth, no individual would be classified in terms
of color. A colored classification of man leads to living death.
This state of living death is the state of mankind.
