Gus blames Bigger for being the one who has a really bad temper and he is the one who causes the most problem is their gang. Bigger became furious and was ready to hit Gus and freak out at him. he really wanted to fight him.

analysis:
i think that in this chapter Bigger would rather have fought Gus and look tough because he beat someone up then go through with the plan. he didn't want to rob the white man because he was too scared. he thought that if he screamed fought and cursed at Gus then his friends would think is tough. but if he chickened out of robbing the white man he would lose respect from his gang and friends. so to cover up his fear he uses anger and violence.
