In the epilogue, our narrator takes the time to reflect on his life that he began in the Prologue- coming full circle. He begins in the hole and ends in the hole. He considers coming out of his hibernation. By being so secluded from the real world, he is able to find his true identity and purpose in life. He says, “Even an invisible man has a socially responsible role to play”. He has gone through many life changing experiences that have given him a new perspective on reality and himself. He decides that living in the world where people refuse to see you as a human being is worse than death itself. No matter what you do in the world, racism will always overpower. Our narrator decides that writing down his story has allowed him to fight hatred and find it in himself to love again. He speaks for all of us because he understands his own experiences can be applied to all people. All humans go through some type of struggle. By coming full circle, it makes the narrator a dynamic character.

This is very true. We see in chapter 18 almost all the members of the brotherhood are blinded by racism. Brother Tarp even makes comments about the narrators southern roots and how some of the members don't believe in the true morals of the Brotherhood (393). Therefor even their own 'brothers' are enemies. All characters should learn from the narrator and come full circle. Only then can the world become a dynamic character itself.
