Native Son to p.140

Quote
"It was the first time he had ever been in their[Jack,Gus,G.H.] presence with feeling fearful. He was following a strange path into a strange land and his nerves were hungry to see where it led" (113).

Significance
This is a significant passage because this is a starting point for Bigger's change. Here, he does not feel scared in front of his friends because he knows he did something hey could never do. He broke a taboo, he killed a white woman.

Question
Will this success of killing a white woman and getting away with it(so far) go to his head?
