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: This quote is significant because it shows a different side to Bigger. Before it seemed like it was an accomplishment that he killed Mary and he was glad no one knew he did it, but now he has a different attitude. he is now analyzing what happened and realizing that what he did is going to get him in a lot of trouble. He doesn't want to blame Jan or get her in trouble, but on the other hand, he does not want to suffer the consequences and say that he's the one that killed Mary.
Question:Will Jan think that Bigger is lying?
