Native Son to pg 209

Quote: "He could not afford to get angry now. And he had no need to be angry. Why should he be angry with a lot of fools? They were looking for the girl and the girl was ten feet from them, burning. He had killed her and they did not know it"(208).


Significance: This quote is significant because it is just telling us again how Bigger sees everyone as blind because they have not figured out what he had done.This quote is saying the same thing as every other time he called all those people blind. He believes because no one has figure out what he did then he sees them as fools and those people he should not become angry at because they do not know the true story. Eventually all of Bigger's lies will catch up to him and it will feel like a punch in the face to him because he has been so confident that no one will ever know what he did and when they do find out he won't feel so confident. He will really just look stupid for believing no one will ever find out he killed Mary and made up lies to get out of trouble.


Question: Is Bigger ever going to get caught?
