The play has a very strong view on Feminism in the
1960 's. The three characters which are women;
Mama, Ruth and Benetha show an influence over
themen of the family. They are the main supporters
of the family, because Walter is too lazy to do
anything or care about his family, since all that
is important to him is money. Mama is by far the
dominant female in the family, since she directly
gave Benetha orders to say "there is still a god
in my mothers house" and Benetha obeyed her, so
that makes ... Free research essays on topics related to: younger family, raisin in the sun, unborn child, liquor store, insurance money

The play A Raisin in the Sun was generating from a
poem. This poem is talking about the everyday
struggles of African Americans and making it in
the real world. Also about dreams and how they can
easily turn into nightmares. But no matter what
the outcome of the dream is, it is reality. The
poem is like a vision of a big question, asking,
what happens to a dream that is deferred? In the
end it kind of gives the reader a vague answer.

The opening scene, Hansberry tells us, is a pan
shot of Chicago's South Side during the 1950 s
(although it could as well be the 1990 s).
Exterior and interior images show that we are in a
ghetto, and this is how people live here. More
importantly, this is a ghetto of African-Americans
who have few choices in a white society. Over the
panning shots is superimposed Langston Hughes'
poem "Dream Deferred, " providing the inspiration
for the title: "What happens to a dream deferred?
