Native Son p.163

Quote
"He[Bigger] was moving away from the threatening penalty of death, from the deathlike times that brought him that tightness and hotness in his chest; and he was moving toward that sense of fullness he had so often but inadequately felt in magazines and movies"(149-150).

Significance
This clearly marks where Bigger was coming from and where he is going. He was a very timid and frightened black man in a white world. But now, since he had killed Mary, he felt right. He felt like he has a purpose and that he has power.

Question
Will Bigger do something stupid and get caught?
