Native son to page 340-360

"He had to die. It was more important to him to find to find out what this new tingling, this new elation, this new excitement meant" (363)

Bigger’s new dream to find a deeper meaning to life is destined to fail. Even if he were not condemned to die Bigger would be thrown back into the under tow of society. If Bigger hadn’t been killed, he would still have to live with the history of his crimes. He would most likely be unable to attain employment to sutain himself in his family. Consequently, he would be forced to remember his family hardships and shame. This would set Bigger back on the track of his original cycle of life.

Does Max really care about Bigger or does Max just use Bigger to showcase his politics?

Will Bigger’s new dream lead him to happiness before he dies?
