Native Son 3/31/09

Quote: "He found that he was afraid of what she did, now that she was working with him. His peace of mind depended on him knowing what she did and why."

Significance:
Seems to me that Bigger doesn't completely trust Bessie, perhaps believing her to have an ulterior motive. Or, it could just be good buisness, deciding on how she can be used by what she does. Either way, it leads me to believe that Bigger would throw Bessie under a bus to save his own skin.

Question:
Do steriotypes in this novel dismiss other steriotypes?
