Native Son to pg 340 part one

Quote: "Well, you jarred me....I see now. I was kind of blind"(287).

Significance: This quote is significant because this is what Bigger has been saying all along and someone finally has made it clear that they really were blind. Jan had no idea what Bigger was doing because he pulled the wool over his eyes. Jan now understands what was happening because before he was just blind of what was happening. Bigger thought they all would be blind of what he did forever, but obivously not if Jan told him he was blind of what was happening and now he understands.

Question: Is Max really going to help Bigger?
