Native Son pg. 141-163 "We can get ten thousand dollars" (144).

I chose this quote because it shows how stupid Bigger really is. It seems so bizarre to me that Bigger is trying to make money off of murdering Mary. Most people would feel so blessed to get away with something horrible that they did and put it out of their memory. Of course, Bigger does not realize that he should quit while he is ahead and focus on avoiding being caught instead of putting Mary up for a ransom. I understand that Bigger may need the money, but that is why he got the job in the first place. It makes no sense to me why Bigger keeps returning to something that could get him in a ton of trouble if her were caught.

Will Bigger be caught because he is trying to make more money?
