Over the years, racial stereotypes have played a major role in society. Even today, we combine racial stereotypes and prejudices before even saying a word to the person. Just seeing an African American man in a parking lot and taking out his phone can be a simple example of modern racial stereotypes. Both novels illustrate the difficulty of overcoming racial stereotypes, while the narrator of The Invisible Man is invisible; Jim in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is identifiable. The narrator encounters racial stereotypes throughout the novel. He first meets Tod Clifton who sells Sambo dolls on the street. Clifton sings a jingle to try to promote the dolls: Shake it! Shake it! It's Sambo, the dancing doll, ladies and gentlemen. Shake him, stretch him by the neck and put him down, he will do the rest. Yes ! It will make you laugh; it will make you sigh, si-igh. It will make you want to dance and dance. Here you are, ladies and gentlemen, Sambo, The Dancing Doll (431). The dolls are racial stereotypes of African Americans, symbolizing a Sambo slave, one who acts both indolent and submissive. Additionally, the doll depicts a negative African-American entertainer who makes a fool of himself for the entertainment of white people. Additionally, the Sambo doll is able to move when pulled by the strings above. This implies that African Americans act like puppets on strings, controlled by whites. This degrading symbol shows that African Americans act a certain way because of white people and the racist society created. Another symbol that represents a racial stereotype is the piggy bank. While living in Mary's house, the Invisible Man sees the bank, "...the...... middle of paper......wears the 5 cent piece around his neck, that Tom leaves for the candles, saying it is a good luck charm. Huck thinks all African Americans are superstitious, which is a racial stereotype: "Negroes always talk about witches in the dark by the kitchen fire. but every time such things were talked about and made known, Jim would come up and say, “Hm! What do you know about witches” (6). Everyone still believes that Jim is a slave, but in reality he is a free man: "He is not a slave; he is as free as any creature that walks this earth (399). in his will that once Jim dies, Miss Watson dies, but because Jim is African American, it is difficult for others to realize that he is a free man Twain created this character to show what. racism and racial stereotypes play a major role in society..
