Q: What differences exist between Bigger’s reflected attitude and his hidden emotion?
A: The differences between Bigger’s reflected attitude and his hidden emotion are quit obvious.

Inside Bigger is this guy that is still finding himself, trying to be a man, in a hidden racist society. Bigger was never able to say the sky is the limit because his feet were plotted on the ground. Wingless, thoughtless, and blinded by the prosperity that was delivered to him by a visionless group, Bigger broke the chains and released some anger. He struck back and hit them where it would hurt, not in their wallets but in those deep blue eyes.
