This unavoidable curiosity has been, for a long time, always unanswered until the roommates actually meet for the first time. Imagine, however, that a highschool graduate could not only find out who his or her roommate will be, but also pick the actual roommate.

This incident, between Bigger and Gus, explained to me earlier in the novel, that Bigger would murder anyone who got on to his nerves. Bigger as lazy as he is, never took actions that would make his life better but worsen it.

Power was determined by race and was untouchable by an African American. Bigger’s world consisted of only two types of people; the rich and powerful and the poor and black.

They “walked along the street in the morning sunshine” and entered “the darkened movie” (qtd. in Van Hoose 47). This is done in order to figuratively remind the reader that Bigger is constantly crossing between the two worlds as he travels back and forth between his side of town and the nicer side of town where the Daltons live.
