In the play A Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry shows the ongoing struggles of a black family before the Civil Rights movement. A central character in the play, Walter, is head of the Younger’s household. The struggle that Walter faces in trying to find his manhood is one that keeps the reader’s attention. Walter is tired of being another mans’ chauffer. ... Walter’s investment idea is not the most morally Christian, and he does not have the support of his family behind him. Without this support Walter feels that nobody understands him. ... There Walter can express his ideas and get the false support he feels he needs from the men there, who in all honesty, do not care whether he succeeds in life or not. Whether it is through Walter’s low moments when he stumbles through the door drunk, or his high moments when he shows his true passion about his family, the readers watch his character grow throughout the play. Walter is a man who wants to change his status in life, but he is only beginning to see how to deal with his hard life. At times Walter shows immaturity in the play, but by the end Walter finally comes “into his manhood. ... Mama has just received the money and has told Walter that there will be no liquor store using her money.
