Native Son: 12

"He lay on the cold floor sobbing; but really he was pushing forward with his puny strength against a world too big and too strong for him"(Wright 310).

As Bigger lays in jail, despair and frustration are taking over parts of him that once only knew hate. He now sees not only the error of his ways, but exactly what lead him to do everything. He desperately wants to convey to the outside world what got him here, and his motives, yet he cannot seem to find the words. This frustration leads him to discover that the world is simply too strong, too big, too ready to judge, for him to ever be able to push forth. There is nothing left for him to do but wait and trust, two feelings he is unaccustomed to.
