Native Son pg. 242-270 "'There he is!' The three words made him stop; he had been listening for them all night and when they came he seemed to feel the sky crashing soundlessly about him" (265).

I chose this quote because I believe it displys Bigger's surrender physically and psyhcologically. When Bigger was captured, he gave up on running. Bigger gave up psychologically because he had felt so high when he had gotten away with killing Mary, but felt more insecure once he was on the run. Finally, Bigger lost all hope of getting away with murder when the police came and captured him. This just shows how in this society, Bigger can never overcome the power of the white people.

What will happen to Bigger with the police?
