I think Darrow does a lot of what he does for his love of Eo, the mines, and his family. He buries Eo, because he wants her body to rest. He becomes a Gold because he wanted to live on for Eo's dream. He wanted to make sure that Eo didn't die in vain. Darrow wanted to make sure that the reds get some rights and freedom. Eo wanted to live for more and Darrow couldn't see that. I feel like that is why he is so determined to be turned into a gold and go into the Institution. Because he wants to 'get revenge' for Eo. The thing is, Darrow doesn't want to do it in a cold and heartless way. He doesn't want to act like a gold; cruel. The reason why he is so motivated to do the things he does, is because he wants to change the way things work. He is upset that the Golds lied to the Reds about Mars being inhabitable, and he is very motivated to get what is rightfully the Reds... back.
