I hadn't even thought about how long it had been there. Now, I'm posting this comment far after I read the book, so I forget how long he had actually been in the room and what he'd been doing, but I would agree with you on the invisible part. Funny how he only saw it then. Perhaps it was even foreshadowing, since he only saw it as he was leaving for the Brotherhood, and if it was then it was an omen of sorts showing what awaited him in the organization. It was a warning of what awaited him as he tried to work for Brother Jack and the others. Also, the narrator saw this when he was getting ready to start over again, trying for a new life in the Brotherhood. When he goes to start over again for the Brotherhood after the job for women's rights, he ends up finding Clifton selling the Dancing Sambo dolls. Maybe it's conveying the idea that whenever he thinks he's starting anew on the right path, he's really not changing anything, and is really just headed for trouble again. It might be saying that the Brotherhood was never the right path, and he never saw this but instead tried to destroy all other stereotypes (doll and bank) while trusting in the very people that supported those images. Blinded, if you will, by what's in front of him. <BR/><BR/>How in the heck was all this missed? Again, nice observation.anonymous(yes,me)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13717296484794571019noreply@blogger.com
