Not HG Wells' 'The Invisible Man'Is there any symbolic meanings attached to the name Rinehart in Ellison's 'Invisible Man'?
As his name suggests, Rinehart is both “rind” and “heart”; that is, he is a whole human being who doesn’t need others to validate his existence. When the narrator finally removes his metaphorical blindfold and stops seeing his reflection in the eyes of others, he becomes Rinehart and regains his sense of self.
