Quote: "He sucked on his cigarette; he saw her looking at him, her black eyes wide with eager interest. He liked that look[...] He wanted to take as long as possible in order to see that look of complete absorption upon her face. It made him feel alive and gave him a heightened sense of value of himself"(143).
Significance: Through this quote, we see that Bigger seems to have a confident attitude about the crime he committed. It almost seems like an accomplishment for him that he murdered Mary and no one knows it was him. Being confident about murdering a white woman is not something to be proud of. I think this will effect Bigger for the worst later on in the book.
Question: Will Bigger get caught for what he did?
