i)Blindness: In the ancient Greek drama, Oedipus the tragic hero is convinced he can overcome the Oracle's predication that he will unwittingly kill his father and marry his mother. He blinds himself in a fit of rage after the prophecy is fulfilled.
ii)Hubris: Is the word given to the excessive pride exhibited by the tragic hero in ancient Greek drama, which brings about his downfall. It is hubris that ultimately causes Bigger's death.

To him, Every white person is a symbol of oppression. On the contrary, Mary Dalton is friendly to bigger but bigger is ready to exhibit his disdain for white folks as the same feelings is felt towards Jan too. On the other hand, many and jam (the two white lovers ) shows him love and friendliness which makes him ashamed of himself. Both lovers are closing at the risk of disapproval from their own folks. The two parties are actually operating in total ignorance of the other's situation , a condition brought about by years of unhealthy extreme opinion of the other .
It is also ironical that jan,whom bigger tried blame his murder of Mary on, would later take step to free the same bigger of culpability in the crime. He is the one who brings max to Bigger to act as his counsel during his arraignment.
Another ironic situation is noticed with the respect of bigger's freedom. While restricted to a cell in prison , he feels free whereas outside, he feels prisoned.
