1.)Mrs. Thomas’s out look on the world is that she cant change the life she was given and all that she can do is to work hard to make it a little better. She is a realist and can only see the world through a bleak view. Bigger is a romantic. He sees how the world could be a better place but only for him. He knows that the world is a better place for some people but just not for him and he wants to change/escape from his own reality.
2.) It is human nature to be hostile toads one thing on another. In this time period the vast majority of white people are hostile toads black people. Bigger is shocked to find a white family that is so comfortable with a black man but is so dysfunctional themselves.
3.) Everything in book one is based on fear. Everything in Bigger’s life revolves around fear. His plan to rob a white man is because he is scared of what might happen to his family if they don’t have money. The murder of the white girl Mary was not purposeful but once it was done Bigger’s whole world was nothing but fear.
