What is the meaning of the book Invisible Man? What would be a good comparison and contrast?

Question

by Ralph Ellison. What is the author trying to tell about himself?
What does this story mean? Anything from this story gives you pleasure?

Answer 1

I'm guessing it shows what happens when a man lets others
make decisions for him. He never stands up for himself and he
puts up with everyone's crap. He knows that certain things are
wrong but does nothing to stop them.
