"Even death would not matter ... it [death] would be a victory" (275).
This is just a thought going through Bigger's mind but I do believe it can be realistic. Bigger's death really does not matter whatever he says or does. He's already been charged with rape & murder so he's going to die anyway. However, his death can also be seen as a victory. Remembering what Bigger's in jail for - it's a big deal! He's killed a white woman, there aren't many "negroes" in the book that have committed this crime. So not only would Bigger's death be considered a victory for himself but also for his people.
Does Bigger believe in his death being a victory?
