The society formed by the hate and cognative disonanse of the white americans is fully deserving of the balme for the murder of Mary.Bigger was doing a favor for Mary by bringing her up to her room, instead of just leaving her blitzed boddy lying on the kitchen floor. but, in this racialy intolerant society, if Mrs Dalton would have discovered Bigger by the side of mary's bed, she most likely would have responded by thinking bigger was up to no good, and possibly rapeing her intoxicated daughter, instead of bringing her up tp bed. Bigger couldnt explain why he was there in order to protect mary from her parents. so, it made perfect sense to act as he had done, because even "unracist" white people of the 1920/30s would think negativly if they found a black man in their daughters room. Biggers method for making sure he was not discovered was a little too effective, but being an uneducated black child, it was the best he could think of at the time. Bigger didnt do it in cold blod, he did it so he wasnt discovered and fasly accused in a society that would have automaticaly jump to a flase conclusion bassed on race, and race only. Greg Harris..
