The society in which Bigger resides does not allow him to live naturally. He cannot trust his feelings or instincts because they are the ways in which Bigger violates the laws of society. When Bigger gives in to his sexual instincts and molests Mary it led Bigger to killing her. Bigger struggles immensely with surpressing his instincts and he wonders if others share his struggles.
Will Bigger commit suicide?
Will Jan be blamed for Bigger’s crime?
