Our Summary of A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry
Lorraine Hansberry's three-act play, 'A Raisin in the Sun,' centers on the Youngers family. Hansberry centers the storyline on an African-American family whose death of the father has provided an opportunity to receive an insurance check. The family consists of Mama; Walter Lee and his wife Ruth and their son; and Beneatha, the daughter. The insurance check is for $10,000 and each family member has their own idea of what should be done with the money. Throughout the play, Hansberry presents a clash over dreams. Each member has a dream but don't have the money to fulfill it. Mama uses part of the money to keep the family together, entrusting Walter Lee to be the head of the household with the rest. But Walter Lee squanders it, forcing the family to reconsider their plans of moving into a house. However, their desire for something better prompts them to move forward emotionally. Hansberry ends 'A Raisin in the Sun' with the family believing that if they stick together they can accomplish more without having to defer their dreams.
