Native Son to pg 286

Quote: "Toward no one in the world did he feel any fear now, for he knew that fear was useless; and toward no one in the world did he feel any hate now, for he knew that hate would not help him"(273).

Significance: This quote is significant because Bigger feels nothing anymore. Before he was lying and trying to stay out of trouble and not get caught. Now that he is caught he feels no need to have different emotions toward people because he lost and got caught when he never that he would. Bigger was way to confident when he was lying and he really thought that would keep him out of trouble. What he feels now is depression because he knows he failed and should not hate anyone. The only person he should hate is himself for what he did.

Question: What was the point of the preacher?
