Quote: "Yes; take the gun and shoot it at them, shoot it empty. Slowly, he stretched out his hand and tried to pick up the gun, but his fingers were too stiff. Something laughed in him, cold and hard; he was laughing at himself." (269)
Significance:
This quote shows that Bigger has gone off the deep end, but still keeps madman logic. His realization that he could use fear as a weapon is one most in that situation would make, but few would actually go through with it. This lad to his capture, and the innevitable fate that stands to befall him.
Question: Will Bigger find a way out of this?
