"It was the first time he had ever been in their presence without feeling fearful"(Wright 113).
Bigger is a new man. After murdering Mary, he has found a new sense of confidence. A rather odd reaction for someone who must now hide from the truth and constantly live in a lie. Bigger is no longer fearful of people, especially his friends. He acts on impulse still, but now instead of doing so in fear, he does so with a certain confidence, he feels invincible despite his small guilt. Above suspicion for now, Bigger feels on top of the world, but this cannot last for long. While his lies can hold him for now, he will eventually be brought down. His biggest giveaway may end up being his apparent change in manner.
