Quote
"Bigger felt guilty;...Yet he knew of no way to atone for his guilt; he felt he had to act as he was acting"(171).
Significance
I chose this because this is a clear foreshadowing. Here, Bigger finally feels remorse for not only what he did but what he is continuing. He knows that Jan was completely innocent, all he tried to do was to be kind to Bigger. Bigger doesn't want to get Jan in trouble, but he needs to save his own skin. And in order to do that, he must make Jan out to be the murder. But the guilt is finally hitting him.
Question
Will this be the last episode of guilt Bigger experiences or will it become too much to bear?
