Are you satisfied?

After all the incidents Mr. Norton went through, he finally arrives to the campus of the school.The driver has lots of things in his mind to say but he keeps them to himself. Thinking about his possible consequences for all the bad things that happened to Mr. Norton he is freaking out. He just wants to apologize and tell Mr. Norton how he hates the people they had seen before, even if they were also black  He is trying to be the perfect driver, the perfect student the perfect human, waiting for approval on behalf of the white race. This reminds me of Edna Pontellier and how she is constantly trying to be the perfect wife. Just like the driver, she is willing to hide her real feelings and thoughts to seem perfect. The old Edna would follow every command made by Mr. Pontellier without doubt. Her life is being directed by a male, just like the invisible man´s life is being directed by the white.

Everyone tries to impress others, but eventually they start to realize how it doesn´t make sense. Once Edna gets tired of being the perfect wife she revels, and it all ends with her suicide. With the invisible man, he decides to be invisible, please no one, he turns aggressive and defensive.
