A Raisin in The Sun
Dreams in the Raisin in the Sun
In Lorraine Hansberry’s play , A Raisin in the Sun , she uses the Younger family to show that as individuals strive to reach their dreams they often disregard the aspirations of others but they may eventually learn to support one another in attempt to better their lives. In the play Walter Lee was so excited and thrilled to buy a liquor store the one he had always dreamed about, but he did not realize that just like he had a dream his wife, son, mother, and sister had dreams they hoped someday they might accomplish. But Walter was blind he did not realize, and when he does was it too late! In the play, A Raisin in the Sun, we were introduced to many characters. We learned that the Lee family was a low income family and if they had something that kept them going it was simple hope, from that one day they would get a better home , become a successful doctor , go to the best school and lastly buy a liquor store. Walter Lee is the head of the family, being the only male in the family, his wife, Ruth, son, Travis, Mother, and lastly his sister Beneatha. Walter was excited in the beginning of the play when he discovered that a small liquor store he has wanted for a long time is for sale. He had always dreamt of having a small business of his own. And with his mothers check coming with ten grand, because of, Mrs. Lee’s husband’ death, he thought it was the perfect opportunity for his to accomplish his dream. Sayed
Abdelmawjoud Said in one of his writings that “Lorraine Hansberry points out that the deferment and collapse these dreams can be positively exploited to strengthen blacks and help them restore their long absent manhood and dignity in America.

    In every family, each member has their own role to play. Whether it is the supporter, the dreamer, the realist, the dominant and strong head of the family, from birth we are each given a place to fill in our family. The problem comes when we don’t know how to live in our place. Then a person gets lost trying to fill another role because they are not satisfied with where they are. The characters in A Raisin in the Sun are members of a family that have to deal with a member who no longer knows his place in the family and goes on a personal journey to find one. The play’s main character, Walter Lee Younger, is struggling with his identity. Thrashing around drowning in the shortcomings of his life. His main focus throughout the play is getting money. From the opening scenes we see that that seems to be his driving force. The whole family is used to it and even annoyed as whenever he begins to talk about the insurance check or his new idea on how they could earn some great money, everyone brushes him off and tells him to stop thinking about money all the time. Walter Lee can’t stop thinking about money because he feels like a failure, but if his plans worked out he would be rich and that equals success in his eyes. He works a dead end job as a chauffer for a wealthy white family but he has no education, no status, and no money, to help him succeed. He dreams a big dream of putting pearls on his wife’s neck and being able to give his child, Travis, everything he himself was not able to have. Now, this is a dream most parents have for their families. Who would not want to be able to support their families and never have to see their children struggling? My parents have worked long and hard for their whole lives to give my sister and myself a better life so that we would never have to see the poverty they endured. My mother speaks to me all the time about the projects she grew up in and how she and my grandmother had to share a bedroom, just like Benetha and Lena Younger,…

    Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I Have A Dream” speech in 1963 and it became one of the most iconic speeches to go down in history. In front of thousands, he spoke of freedom and hope that one day people wouldn’t be treated differently because of the color of their skin. This theme coincides with the theme for the play, A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry. The play also involves discrimination and hope, but focused more on the importance and struggles of family. A family of five received a welfare check of ten thousands dollars, but couldn’t quite make a decision on what to do with it to make everyone happy. They wanted to spend it on a new home of their own and start anew, but Walter Lee wanted to invest in a liquor store. King’s “I…

    In A Raisin in the Sun, Hansberry represents Walter Lee Younger as an ambitious but very unknowledgeable African American man. Walter Lee is a man who is angry and frustrated with his current position in life because he feels like a less of a man. He works as a chauffeur for a white man which has him dissatisfied with his own life. At the age of thirty-five, he can barely provide for his family. His dissatisfaction with his own life is shown when he speaks to his wife Ruth and says, "I'm thirty-five years old; I've been married eleven years and I got a little boy who sleeps in the living room and all I got to give him is stories about how rich white people live”. Although his family's financial situation is strained, Walter doesn't want his son to see him struggle. It is obvious that Walter Lee, who is supposed to be the man of the house, feels like a complete failure. He wants to emulate the lifestyle of rich white people and live like them. “I’m thirty-five years old”, his tone alone depicts that he is too old to not have accomplished anything valuable in life. He does not want to be a hopeless chauffeur for the rest of…

    The younger family struggles with money, they live in a worn out apartment, this setting affects the story a lot because that's the main reason they are in this story, they don’t want to live there anymore so everyone has different ideas on how to get out of there(Thomas P 1). In the short play, A Raisin in the Sun talks about a poor family that tries to cope with the realities of life on Chicago's Southside. The Younger’s struggles with money and they argue about the money that they will get from Mama's husband life insurance. Walter seemed to be the biggest problem caused by the play. His risky moves with money always seemed to backfire. No one really trusted Walter because he talked very big about business and investments that would help the family make it big, and finally get out of their current poor situation. Everyone was shutting him down and never gave him a chance to talk about his dreams and goals because they just seemed too unrealistic to everyone else. Ruth; Walters wife almost always disproves of Walter's friends and ideas he may have had. For example, investing in the liquor store. She brings a sense of control mean to the story, she keeps Walter in check to a certain extent (DOMINA “Index”). Ruth and Walter don't have a very good relationship, they seem to always be arguing about something, either ruth not approving of Walter's friend’s or not approving of his dreams, ruth is more of a realist and Walter is stuck in the clouds , they also argue about money and in what the check should be spent on (DOMINA “Literary Analysis”). The younger family go through big struggles and they argue a lot because of their needs and the lack of money. Everyone in the family hopes for something better, Mama wants and hopes for a new home so does Ruth, Beneath hopes to go to medical school, Walter…
