Native son 286

"Sitting beside Mrs. Dalton was Mr. Dalton, looking straight before him with wide-open,unblinking eyes. Mr. Dalton turned slowly and looked and Bigger and Bigger's eyes fell." (277)

Throughout his entire life, Bigger attempted to ignore problems and responsibilities by concealing them under a curtain. Now that the curtain option is no longer accessible to Bigger he will have to face his problems. In doing so, Bigger will be forced to realize that he had been wrong about all of the other things that he had hidden under the curtain. Fainting during trial is but a morsel of guilit which due to befall Bigger.

Will the Dalton's forgive Bigger?

How will Bigger deal with his guilt?
