"I can die without a cross!"

This quote interests me because the main goal for Bigger was to die with pride, or die a hated man. Also when he was in jail he was searching for some form of hope. It seemed that when he was initially caught and put in jail, everything he used to "save" him or cover up his wrong doings, and even motivated him died at that instant. When the priest offered him the cross I thought that religion and faith was the only thing that could give him hope as he "dies." Following the guidelines in which he wanted to die by, he cant really die without a cross because the cross was the only thing that helped him to be hopeful again.

Why wouldn't the priest give up on Bigger thus far?

Will Bigger die?
