Quote: "Under it all some part of his mind was beginning to stand aside; he was going behind his curtain, his wall, looking out with sullen stares of contempt. He was outside of himself now, looking on"(267).
Significance: This quote shows that Bigger finally realizes he is going to be caught for his actions. Before he was ready to be captured and confident that he was not scared, but now he wants to hide from the police. He is finally realizing what he did and that he really is going to be caught. I think he might have thought that he would never be caught because he made up such believable lies, but lies always catch up to people. People can not hide forever and that is what Bigger thought he could do, but now that they have got him there is nothing he can do. He can not hide behind his lies anymore.
Question: What does Bigger's mother have to say about what Bigger had done?
