In Lorraine Hansberry’s "A Raisin in the Sun," the struggles and aspirations of the
Younger family, an African American family living in 1950s Chicago, are vividly
portrayed. At the heart of the narrative is a $10,000 life insurance check from the
deceased patriarch, Mr. Younger. This sum of money becomes a symbol of hope
and the potential realization of the American Dream for each family member, though
their visions for achieving this dream differ significantly.
Mama, the matriarch of the Younger family, dreams of buying a house to provide her
family with stability and dignity. Her son, Walter Lee, aspires to invest in a liquor
store to escape economic hardships and prove his worth. Walter’s sister, Beneatha,
seeks to become a doctor, challenging racial and gender stereotypes. Ruth, Walter’s
wife, desires a better environment for her family and renewed intimacy in her
marriage.
Through these diverse dreams, Hansberry explores the multifaceted nature of the
American Dream, highlighting the unique struggles and desires of each family
member. The play underscores their resilience and determination while critiquing the
systemic barriers they face, offering a poignant exploration of hope and the quest for
a better life.
