A Raisin in the Sun Themes and symbols by Lorraine Hansberry
Siužetinės Linijos Tekstas
- EXAMPLES
- MAMA'S PLANT
- BENEATHA'S HAIR
- LIFE INSURANCE MONEY
- Mama's little plant is a joke in the family, but to her, it represents that possibility of sunlight and happiness one day. It is the American Dream; a house of her own with a yard of her own, where her grandchildren can grow up having more than she had. It is also the hope that she has for her family to come together.
- Beneatha’s hair reflects her struggle with identity. When Asagai teases her about "mutilating" her hair, Beneatha sees a change that can allow her to understand, define, and set herself apart from what she sees as an African culture that has been forced to assimilate to American society.
- The Money represents the Younger family's hopes and dreams. Walter’s dream of financial independence; Mama’s dream of owning something real; Beneatha’s dream of medical school; and Ruth’s dream of a family where her children can grow and flourish. The money also represents of the death of Big Walter, who will never realize his own dreams.
