Blonde Woman And Invisible Man- Battle Royale There is a lot of significance to the battle royale of the naked blonde woman scene. She was heavily powdered and rouged; as if to put a mask on to hide her humiliation. She was perfect in every other way and there to excite the black boys, including the invisible man, and the white men. The excitement for the black boys was only for humiliation, for they know that they can never have nor touch the white woman. When the woman first appears, there is dead silence, unusual for a smoker party. The smoke filled air might represent the blindness of the white men (for dehumanizing the black boys; and woman) and could also represent the invisible black man. This scene is very prejudice because it is in man’s nature, white or black, to look at the perfect model of a woman and be attracted to her. This quote tells us that of course they are going to look, “Had the price of looking been blindness, I would have looked” (154). The white men who brought her out are mocking the black boys for this.
