I think society is nearly completely responsible for the death of Mary Dalton

I think society is nearly completely responsible for the death of Mary Dalton by the end of Book One. The society Bigger is put in, is the kind that all blacks must treat whites superior. In the beginning of the book, Bigger is explaining white priveledge and how much he desires to do the things whites can do, such as fly airplanes. Having little education and little everything, Bigger feels pressured to act tough and fearless. Although, Mary Dalton is putting his job in jeopardy which makes Bigger hate her. She is taking advantange of him by having him bring her somewhere other than school and bringing her to her communist boyfriend, whom her father hates. Mary is doing everything possible to trigger Biggers hate. She knows Bigger wont say no, because she suspects him as a minority although she is to "nice" to admit it. Her annoying questions lead to Biggers aggression. Bigger is thinking about society knowing its not correct to be inbetween two whites, or be in a bedroom with a white woman. When he places the pillow over her mouth, he does it in societys favor; he doesn't want anyone to get the wrong impression. Throwing Mary in the furnace is influenced by societys "right" and "wrong." Throughout the book, Bigger knew his instincts were bad but if he was able to say no to the whites and there were equality among the society, this tragedy would have never occured
