"All right. They white folks. They done killed plenty of us"(178).
This quote is significant because we finally see Bigger trying to make sense of the chaotic episode he has just created. He tries to blame the death of Mary Dalton on white people or this white "force" because the have killed many of his people. I think this is sort of a turning point for Bigger in the sense that his emotions are now beginning to become very unstable, and it seems as if he is sort of regretting killing Mary in the first place as it has sent waves of torture to him/his mind.
Do you think Bigger might get tired of playing this "hide-and-go-seek" game with the Dalton's or keep on lying?
Why does Bigger keep looking in the furnace if he doesn't see anything each time he looks?
