Question;- How are Mama, Ruth and Beneatha portrayed in the play [WAEC May June 2017]
Answer;- In 1957, Lorraine Hansberry crafted a drama that
will forever remind generations of African-Americans of their ancestral hunger
for higher social status in the midst of poverty; the drama being A Raisin in
the Sun.
The drama saw the poor Younger family witnessed competing
dreams from every member of the family in anticipation for the $10,000
insurance check.
In examining Mama, Ruth and Beneatha, despite their contrasting
traits and characters, the one biding similarity is that they were all
dreamers.
