"The muscles of Bigger's face jerked violently, making him feel that he wanted to laugh. He turned his head aside and fought to control himself. He was full of hysteria" (206).
I think this quote is an example of how Bigger doesn't have the right emotions due to his socialization process. Here, someone is trying to investigate a murder scene and bigger is laughing about it. But what is he laughing about? Is he laughing because they would never know he did it? That option seems the most logical, but that would give him away, or at least make people suspicious, so why do it? This could also possibly be a time when Bigger is realizing he's being too paranoid about things, as he was with the cat.
Do you think the publicity Bigger gets in the papers will affect his relationships with his family or friends? Make people suspicious?
