The Pedro Paramo story took place during the Mexican Revolution, a time of Indian Revolt against the White Mexican establishment. Actually, most Mexicans had got their blood mixed by this time. But darker and poorer, Indian by culture, having no social status, marked you as un Indígeno, and you knew which side you were on.
So Abundio kills Pedro Pàramo in the end. In the beginning of the story, Abundio reveals himself to Juan Preciado as another son of Señor Paramo, born on a petate on the floor. That probably means that he was not legitimate, as Juan Preciado was though his mother had been cast off.
Abundio's description of Sr. Pàramo was: "He's hate. He's just pure hate."
