    Agree ‘em To Death and Destruction Ralph Ellison’s short story “Battle Royal” illustrates the pessimistic and ultimately futile nature of Black resistance to institutional oppression. The text utilizes the perspective of the Black narrator to convey the overt as well as subtler forms of violence perpetrated by white society. Paragraph 60 utilizes the language of the M.C. to demonstrate the subtle ways in which relations of power are constructed between racial groups. The repetition of the word gentlemen to describe the audience, creates an ironic juxtaposition with previous scenes of drunken and violent debauchery - revealing the self-justifying perspective of white men. The language of the white characters constructs a dismissive attitude…
