Dalton's House

"He stood up.. With each of her movements toward the bed his body made a movement to match hers, away from her, his feet not lifting themselves from the floor, but sliding softly and silently over the smooth deep rug, his muscles flexed so taut they ached. Mrs Dalton now stood over the bed. Her hands reached out to touch mary."(pg 86)

Every since Bigger has been into the Daltons house no matter what part of the house his in his doesnt feel confortable. He's alwayz worried about what their gonna say or what they are gonna think about him, the thing he does and the way he acts because he's black living in this house owned by whites.Which all connects back to fear bigger is just scared out what can happen to him.
Why dont you think at the time bigger doesnt notice that he's actually sufforcating Mary ?
Why didnt bigger just try to get out the room ? if he was to get caught why couldnt he just explain what happened ?
