Chapter Four

Our motif of sex appears only once in this chapter. The Invisible Man is heading back to his dormitory to wait for his fate with Dr. Bledsoe after bringing Mr. Norton back to campus. The girl who walked the Invisible Man and Dr. Bledsoe to Mr. Norton's room caught the Invisible Man on his way out and asked him to deliver a message to her boyfriend. The message was "green grass", a secret code used by the girl and her boyfriend. The Invisible Man was livid when he thought about how serious his situation was while she asks him to deliver a message. On his way back to his dormitory, the Invisible Man says "The grass was green and they'd meet and she'd be sent home pregnant..." (pg 105). One could connect the secret code to sex by the Invisible Man saying that the girl will end up pregnant.
