Native Son Pg140

Quote: "What he had done last night had proved that. Jan was blind. Mary had been blind. Mr. Dalton was blind. And Mrs. Dalton was blind; yes, blind in more ways than one "(107).

Significance: This quote is significant because Bigger thinks that what he did will never be known. He says that all these people are blind because they have not seen the truth in what he did, but eventually the truth will be set free. Honestly, I believe because Mrs. Dalton is the only one actually blind, she will be the one to figure out the truth and catch Bigger. Bigger thinks all these people are blind, but soon they will not be so blind when they find out what he did. If Bigger thinks he will never be caught, he has another thing coming.

Question: Is Bigger going to trust Bessie and tell her what he did?
