racism
Edit: I disagree that that's really even a theme of the story, and even if it is, there are far more and more prominent ones in Battle Royal.
1. The theme of Identity and Purpose, both as a race for the black race and as a personal journey of discovery.
2. The Cruelty of Man - Not just to black men but to the white girl as well. Basically anyone they view an not equals or as objects.
3. The Power/Corruption of Money - The way the boys willingly electrocute themselves in order to get money. The way the rich white men treat others as objects who are not of their station.
4. Social Equality - The way that the south views blacks and others (like the exotic dancer) not of their station.
Ralph Ellison used blindness as a theme because he wanted to show that people do not want to see certain things, that they have the control to choose if they want to acknowledge him or not; by acknowledging Invisible Man they are giving him an identity. I think that Ralph also used the theme to show that both black and white people refuse to see him and not only white.
The sentence "I am an invisible man" is the opening line of Ralph Ellison's novel "Invisible Man." It symbolizes the protagonist's struggle with identity and societal invisibility as a black man in America. Ellison's exploration of this theme throughout the novel reflects his own experiences and observations of racial discrimination and marginalization.
the theme for the royal rumble 2010 is: Hero - Skillet
Ralph Geddes
Ellison uses the circus as a metaphor to depict the absurdity and exploitation of race relations in America. By likening the protagonist's experiences to a circus, he highlights the spectacle and dehumanization that black people faced in society. Some references include the battle royal scene where the narrator is made to fight blindfolded, symbolizing his lack of agency and control. The circus theme recurs to underscore the performative nature of race relations and how African Americans were made to entertain and amuse white audiences.

Pride in battle and death is a possible theme for this poem, considering the battle imagery and emphasis on a fitting location for the ship's burial.
