I never really sympathized Bigger, at the beginning of the book he seemed like a bit of a jackass and I still think he is one now. He just seemed like a very angry, unstable person and I think the majority of that is his own fault. In book II, He almost got worse. In book I, he was horrible to his friends and family, he seemed lazy, and he always had a chip on his shoulder. In book II, he is the same, but arrogant and proud about it, and that is a recipe for further bad things to happen.
