“He was a murderer, a Negro murderer, a black murderer. He had killed a white woman.” (87)
Due to the manner of Mary’s murder Bigger has further played into the racial stereotype. To burn a body that is potentially still living was a rash decision made by Bigger. If Bigger were to be caught, then he punishment would be greatly magnified. Bigger should have (and still should) come clean and confessed his accidental misfortune. Whereas now Bigger cannot escape the web of lies that he has strung himself to.
Did Mrs. Dalton notice Bigger?
Will Jan learn of Mary’s murder? If so will his perception of racial equality be changed?
