A Raisin in the Sun

In the play A Raisin in the Sun written by Lorraine Hansberry we read about a family trying to live out their dreams. Each family member has their own idea of happiness and fights for the money they receive from the insurance check. While Ruth and Mama want to put a downpayment on a house, Walter wants to use the money to open up a liquor store, and Beneatha wants to use the money for her education. Each character acts somewhat selfish especially Walter. After finally given some of the money for his liquor store, he still isnt satisfied and ends up taking the money mama gave him for Beneatha's education as well.
Even though each character has their own problem, we see Walter struggle the most. After losing all the money, he finds himself more upset and depressed than he originally was. He eventually finds a solution and finds a way to make the Youngers happy again. Throughout this play, we see Walter affected by the money the most. Not only does it ruin him, but it makes him a better person as well.
