A Raisin in the Sun - Literary Review (print)

Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun" is a compelling drama, incorporating relevant racial issues of the time period into the text as well as tensions within the family. Hansberry grew up in the 1930's amongst racial discrimination and segregation in Chicago. Her background and life play into the plot of the play in that racial discrimination and segregation impact the Younger family. The play is the story of a black family, the Youngers, who work hard at what they do and house 3 generations in a run down apartment complex. After the death of Mr. Younger, the family has inherited 10,000 dollars in insurance money. The newly acquired money sparks conflict amongst the family members over how the money should be spent. It is eventually spent on a new house for the family. The remaining money is unknowingly spent by Walter on his dream investment in a liquor store, but is stolen by an untrustworthy friend. The play provides a wide spectrum of characters, including mama, Walter, Beneatha, Ruth, and Tyler Younger. A main issue in the play is racial segregation housing in Chicago. When the Youngers controversially buy their house in a white neighborhood, the white neighbors become aggravated and try to pay them to move away. As noted by the title, the play gets its name from Langston Hugh's poem, A Dream Deffered. This comes from the many dreams pursued by characters in the play and what happens to these dreams. I liked how the plot in this play developed and seemed to swing between good scenarios and bad scenarios constantly, keeping readers on edge. Also, it was a good depiction of the conflicts going on at the time. This play could come to interest a wide range of people. I would recommend it to those interested in the racial conflicts of the 1900's.

A Raisin In The Sun

 The play “A Raisin In the Sun” was a play that dealt a great deal with the amount of tension a family contains, as well as many racial issues that people were dealing with during the time period in which the play was written.  The play was set in Chicago during the 1960s and shows the real life of the Younger family. The family has a very challenging life, especially with the lack of money the family has. In the book each character that is involved has a very specific dream of intention on how they want to spend their life.

 I really enjoyed that, how each person in the play is their own person. This leads to everyone in the family having a different opinion on how to spend the checks they receive in the mail because of the death of Walter Senior.

 I also became very intrigued in the book because you got to see how Walter changes during the play. He is constantly changing from the beginning of Act I, all the way until the end of the play. Walter starts off very self centered, only caring about himself. However, as the book progresses and events play out, he becomes a very unselfish person.

One thing I didn’t like in the play was the fact that they only had one person who was white. The one person was suppose to represent the entire community of white people, I found that not as pleasing because I think that they could have had a few more characters with slightly varying opinions.

Overall, I thought the Play was a great demonstration of the issues and conflicts that black families had to encounter during the 1960s.
