"...and after a while send that boy to me. I want to talk to him"(126).
I think this quote is important because during this interrogation with Bigger and Mrs. Dalton it seems that this is the first time Bigger is in control. His whole life, from our understanding of it, was being nagged by his mother and by being apart of a gang. He was never really the one making decisions for himself. Even when he killed Mary, it wasn't a decision, just instinct. This is the first time in his life where he controls reality and his own fate rather than others choosing it for him.
Why doesn't Bigger just quit the job and get away from the madness?
How would Jan's perspectives of blacks change if he found out that Bigger was trying to frame him?
