I never liked Bigger. I am sorry. I honestly tried liking him because I thought there was something I was missing since so many others liked him but I just never had sympathy for him. He has had so many chances throughout the book to just get away from it all and redeem himself and not do the things he had done. His thoughts may have justified some of the things he had done but overall I just think Bigger was crazy, legitimately mental. So I just think what has happened in the end had to happen eventually and it was justified.
You see, Bigger killed Mary Dalton, the daughter of his employer and the girlfriend of a member of the communist party. It may have been an accident but Bigger still had many opportunities to make everything better and just confess before things got worse. Then later, after getting into a huge mess with a ransom note, he killed again. Except this time, he killed his own girlfriend but not before brutally raping her. However he was not charged for this crime. When he was on trial, a lawyer named Max decided to represent him in court only to clear the name of the communist party. Bigger ended up confessing to the murder and was sentenced to death. Yes, I felt bad. But I strongly believe that anyone who kills intentionally (as he did Bessie), deserves to die themselves.
