Native Son pg. 94-140 "And now that he had killed Mary he felt a lessening of tension in his muscles; he had shed an invisible burden he had long carried" (114)

I chose this quote because I think it shows how confused Bigger really is on the inside. I would think that Bigger would feel a little more tense than he already was before he killed Mary. It is still shocking to me that even though Bigger is a little insane, he feels the way he does about murdering Mary. I think that Bigger's invisible burden is his hate towards white people and how they are treated so much better than he is. When Bigger killed Mary, he was finally able to release all of the hate filled up inside of him after all of those years.

How can Bigger act so calmly even though he could be caught at any minute?
