Quote: "He was not crying, but his lips were trembling and his chest was heaving.He wanted to lie down on the floor and sleep off the horror of this thing. But he had to get out of there."(92)
Significance:
This quote shows Bigger having external fear, rather than the internal fear he had throughout the novel. That is probably because he had never done anything this bad before, and after doing it, is now able to know true fear. However, he does keep his wits about him, and manages to control his actions in order to escape the scene. Afterward, he plans on how he can further escape his crime, showing he's not too panicked to reason. Whether that's good or bad, I know not.
How long can Bigger run from the consequences of his crime.
