        <description><![CDATA[I think it would be incredibly difficult to agree that someone who rapes &amp; violently kills a woman is truly in love with her.
Bessie represents a stereotype of women in the ghetto. These women are characterized by their tired eyes, a result of their ethnic and gender oppression. they usually have jobs like washing clothes or working in kitchens. Beaten by the depression in her situation, Bessie only wants to drink during her time off. Her...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are quite a few instances where Bigger Thomas goes from feeling fear to implementing cold, calculated actions.  The first would be with the death of Mary.  He accidentally kills her.  This was done out of fear; however, the way he covers up her death was cold and calculated.  He shoved her body into her chest to carry her downstairs and then realized a better way to get rid of the body was to burn her.  When he tried to get her into...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Brutality- Bessie's murder was incredibly violent. Following what appears to be rape (she repeatedly tells Bigger "No"), he beats her skull in with a brick, then throws her body down an airshaft. Compared with this horror, Mary's death is relatively peaceful. It is certainly unintentional-Bigger tries to keep Mary quiet &amp; inadvertently suffocates her. 
Motive- Again, Bessie's murder was prompted by Bigger's compromised situation. He sees...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Good question. The act of flying has been used for centuries as a symbol for freedom. Since humans cannot fly under their own power, the symbolism of flight is associated with superheros, angelic beings and other methods of overcoming the physical laws of the universe. One of the most memorable stories of flying dates back to Greek times in the tale of Daedalus and Icarus. Daedalus invented wings to help he and his son escape from a tyrant,...]]></description>
