Native Son, Max and Bigger

In Native Son Max is the one that is most related to Bigger because he speaks out on how he feels about the black race and how racism played a role during that time and how it played the role during the part of the book where he feels that it influences the court scene. He basically speaks out for the black race banking on equality and how everyone should be treated included blacks on the basis of fairness and being equal. During the time of the book and when it was published racism played a big role in the world and blacks were looked down on and even in the book it's shown. So it's interesting to me that Max as being a white man can speak out freely on how he felt in the court room when he gave his sort of speech in the courtroom scene. What is also did which is huge in this moment he made bigger a believer and made bigger trust him. And that's big right now in the book because bigger doesn't trust anyone right now and he feels no one is in his corner and that everyone is sort of blind to the situation and How bigger chose to act. So of course there will be consequences of what he did but what this speech by Max did was is sort of gave the equal feel to everything because they won't really pull the racism card and go kind of easier on Biggers Because If not then Bigger would have Probably been in a really hard space. So Max comes off to me as someone thats really trustworthy and is really involved in his job because he then tells Bigger some personal stuff labour him and that's where I think he won Biggers trust. So Max on Bigger is a positive spot in this wild book that has plenty of Negative points.
