Quote: "He was coming back into possession of himself; for the past three minutes it seemed he had been under a strange spell, possessed by a force which he hated, but which he had to obey"(172).
Significance: This quote is significant because Bigger has a lot of anger that is controlling him. He shows that by threatening and hurting people. By him saying that he must obey it makes him look like a horrible person who needs help. The more anger he builds up the more he is going to hurt people and he has already hurt Bessie whom he loves. Is he going to hurt his mother next. Also the more he lies and tries to get others caught is also going to cause him to do stupid things like hurt people and also to dig a deeper hole of trouble for himself. Bigger does not think he is going to get caught, but eventually all of his lies are going to catch up to him in the end.
Question: Are Bessie and Bigger going to get caught?
