Look up the word "Tod" in German. What does it mean? How does this change your perception of Brother Tod Clifton's importance to the story?

Answer and Explanation:

The word "Tod" means "dead" in German. This shows a vision of the life of Tod Clifton, who despite being a good, sensitive man with many promising ideas, was plagued by violence, intolerance and discrimination for being black, led to enter a highly depressed state that killed him inside and on the outside.

This question is about the book "Invisible Man" that shows the reality of black people in America who were judged by stereotypes and racist concepts, but not by who they really were.
