Prologue
The sex motif made one small appearance in the prologue. The Invisible Man was having a hallucination, and at the beginning of his vision, he "saw a beautiful girl the color of ivory pleading in a voice like [his] mother's as she stood before a group of slave owners who bid for her naked body" (p. 9). In this section we see the start of how the invisible man portrays sex. It is significant that when he discusses sex, it is forced upon the girl, usually involving a transaction of money. Additionally, slave owners bidding for her body acknowledges the "slavery" that might result from sex and expectations of sex.
