The shift from 'I' to 'you' in the prologue of "The Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison interests us as readers because it creates a sense of mystery and intrigue. By shifting the focus from the narrator's personal experience to the reader's, Ellison invites us to explore the narrator's story and to consider our own experiences in relation to it. This shift also allows us to gain insight into the narrator's thoughts and feelings, as well as to gain a better understanding of the themes and ideas presented in the novel.
