Quote: "For the first time in his life a white man became a human being to him; and the reality of Jan's humanity came in a stab of remorse: he had killed what this man loved and had hurt him" (289).
Significance: This quote is significant because Bigger finally is realizing that the murder he had committed did not just affect him, but also the people around him. Bigger worried about how he would be affected if he got caught for what he did and know that he has been caught he has realized he had affected other people by his actions. He had killed the one Jan loved and then tried to frame the murder upon him. Jan was really the one trying to help Bigger and he still is. It is sad because Jan was the one person, not to mention the one white person, who was trying to help him and Bigger did not learn that or understand that until now.
Question: What is going to happen it Bigger's family?
