The protagonist of Hollow Man.

The hero is a black youth of seventeen or eighteen. He used to be a good boy in the south, and he has been trying to shape himself according to a set of values instilled in school education since he was sensible. In the white club, in order to be able to speak, he took part in a fight between black teenagers against his will and climbed over the electrified blanket to grab coins; In order to continue his speech, he swallowed the blood in his mouth. In order to gain self-identity, he changed the blurted "equality" into "obligation". To this end, he got a briefcase and a college notice from a white man.

In college, the hero idolized the black president Dr. bledsoe, hoping to have a reputation, a famous car, a big house and a light-skinned wife like him. Other students laughed at bledsoe's "old bucket head", but he always worshipped President bledsoe. However, when the ignorant master showed the self-taught school firefly the chaotic and dirty side of the black people, bledsoe ruthlessly expelled the hero and secretly designed that he would never find a job.

The hero came to new york and got a job in Free Paint Factory, but the factory exploded and he was injured in the explosion. Then he joined the radical political movement and worked for the "Brotherhood". However, it was cleared by the "brotherhood" for showing personal talents. He took part in the riots of street blacks, confronted Lars, a black nationalist, and ended in failure. Finally, he had to live in seclusion and became a veritable invisible man in the pursuit of the police.

Bledsoe

The president of a black university, doctor. Bledsoe has a "place" that countless blacks yearn for: "It has a great influence on the rich in the country; When it comes to black people, I will definitely ask him for advice; He became the leader of the country ... although he was born with dark skin and wrinkled face, he was more influential in society than most southern whites. They can make fun of him as much as they want, but they can't help but look at him. " He also owns several famous cars and a beautiful light-skinned wife. Bledsoe has two faces in his own black race. One is a happy face of an educator and guide, used to cheat the prestige and influence among his brothers. Everyone in the school is in awe of him. He often appears in black newspapers with the title of "educator". "For us, he is not only the principal of the school. He is a leader, a "politician" who can reflect our problems upwards ... He has become the black carbon daddy that our people are afraid of.

The other is a stern and indifferent face. In his own black race, he treated his black brother falsely. In order to keep his position, he can "let all black people in the country hang from a tree all morning". Like whites, he called blacks "niggers" and betrayed racial feelings in order to maintain his authority and status. Bledsoe was very angry because the hero accidentally showed the white school board something that Dr. bledsoe didn't want others to see. In order to maintain a high and stable position, he is more ruthless than white people. He thought that any behavior harmful to the school would threaten his position, so he ruthlessly expelled me from the school. In addition, he falsely promised the hero that he would be introduced to work for white people. In fact, his letter of introduction is only to cut off the protagonist's future job search.
