The money for mama’s husband’s life insurance seems to have made the Youngers aware of

achieve the American dream.
PREVIEW
ESSAY
The Pursuit of the American Dream in Lorraine Hansberry’s "A Raisin in the Sun"
Lorraine Hansberry’s "A Raisin in the Sun" masterfully portrays the struggles and aspirations of
the Younger family, an African American family living in Chicago in the 1950s. Central to the
narrative is the $10,000 life insurance check from the deceased patriarch, Mr. Younger. This
sum of money becomes a symbol of hope and the potential fulfillment of the American Dream
for each family member, though their visions for achieving this dream vary significantly.
