“Say, what is this!” Jan demanded. “What’re you making this boy lie for?” (167)
Jan is still unable to understand Bigger. Jan’s belief in respect towards blacks has blinded him from even suspecting that Bigger is lying on own accord. It does not even occur to Jan that he gave Bigger pamphlets and preached to him about communism without Bigger’s compliance. Any white person could easily use this information to frame Jan and he would suspect it. However, in Bigger’s case Jan can only feel sorry for Bigger, unable to piece together the truth.
Will Jan finally suspect Bigger of lying or murder (on his own accord) now that Bigger pointed a firearm at him?
Will Bigger’s savage writing style allow the Dalton’s and Britten to suspect him?
