I really like the twist in personality the narrator is starting to take. The scene with the eviction really displayed a new side of the narrator, a peaceful side which had never really been made prevalent before. The narrator breaking up the brawl over the eviction was incredible, seeing as he had dreams of killing people as well as the violent battle royal (which was then followed by a speech of peace?). Ultimately, I think the change in personality from violent and bitter to at least desiring peace reflects his true inner struggle to find an identity, whether it be by testing two polar opposite roads. Also, I wonder what the significance of the freedom papers being trampled is, as well as the black negro bank getting smashed?
But I think the reason the narrator (which, probably is the most vague sense of identity ever, I mean even Henry Adams would at least title himself "the Young American or Young Secretary, maybe conveying that Adams didn't feel necessarily invisible, just useless , but let me get back to the point <-- Gertrude Stein Style) eventually joins this sketchy brotherhood, which doesn't appreciate his ideologies at first, is because he finds a sense of visibility and identity with the. They see him as a brother and he feels as such, which is probably why he was so threatened when he assumed Brother Clifton to be interested in his position. At least at this point, I feel the the narrator has at least some sense of visibility, whether it be real or not.
