Lorrine Hansberry wrote A Raisin In The Sun with a setting that took place in the 1950s on the South Side of Chicago. This play shows the Youngers' African-American family struggling to achieve their dreams in their chaotic lives. Hansberry gives the audience a glimpse into the Youngers' lives over a period of a few weeks. The plot revolves around Mom obtaining the money (ten thousand dollars) from her deceased husband's insurance and how this money will be used. The characterization of the family members, Walter Lee, Ruth, Beneatha, Travis, and Lena (Mama), is highlighted through the characters' interaction with money. The Younger family is depicted with the aim of depicting the interworking of an African. However, dreams are the factor that divides the Younger family, but also identify the personality, thoughts and actions of each family member. For example, Walter wants to become a successful businessman and earn more money. Walter believes that money will solve all the answers economically and emotionally. Additionally, Ruth wants to move out of the apartment and rekindle the love within her marriage. Beneatha, on the other hand, wants to become a doctor to heal people. Hansberry constantly uses direct characterization with Ruth to describe her characterization in the play, but also to portray the character's pain or exhaustion, "Dry, but hurt" (16). Ruth Younger, wife of Walter and mother of Travis, is a great example. In the room, she manages the maintenance of the apartment. In addition, she is the mediator of Mama, Walter and Beneatha. Ruth knows that her mediation between families is essential to the mental health of the home. However, his mediation is mainly used between Walter and Mom. "No. Mom, there's something going on between Walter and I. I don't know what it is, but he needs something, something that I can't give him anymore. He needs this chance , Lena” (25). Ruth’s desire to reconnect with her husband and family allows her to fight for what she does. African American, it is his character that develops the most throughout the play Furthermore, Walter lives in a house that has neglected his need to be the head of the family. makes you a little crazy… Mom, look at me” (Hansberry, 60) This quote reveals the use of indirect characterization, revealing Walter's need to succeed, obtain security and become the head of the family However. , Walter's mother, Lena, remains the matriarch of the family until the end of the play. Constantly seeking financial prosperity, Walter believes that money will solve all family problems. However, his obsession with money ultimately led to his downfall. Most of his actions and mistakes have greatly hurt his family, but his late rise to adulthood makes him something of a hero of the last decade.
