Quote: " In his feelings he could not tell the difference between what this man evoked in him and what had read in the papers: the love of his own kind and the hate of others made him feel equally guilty now" (282).
Significance: Through this quote, we see that Bigger's emotional and physical state is not 100%. He seems to be confused and mixes up how he feels about certain people. Even though the preacher is trying to tell him to move on, forgive and look to God, Bigger feels as though since he has gone through so much, he doesn't know what to do anymore and doesn't think God can help him. His mother and the preacher make him feel guilty about not believing in God, and the papers and the white people make him feel guilty for what he has done to Mary.
Question: Will Jan say he had any part in the murder now?
