Native son to page 340 part 3

“I can die without a cross!” (338)

This is outburst by Bigger is his last straw. In Bigger’s situation, with everything set against him, he mind as well act pious in case there, is in fact, a God. When Bigger rejects religion, he rejects his mother and the preacher which were the only people who never exhibited signs of hating him for his crime. Now that Bigger has turned away from heaven and earth, remaining sympathetic toward him is becoming an arduous task.

Will anyone visit Bigger before his death (besides max and Jan)?

Will Bigger regret turning away from God?
