A Raisin in the Sun

Lorraine Hansberry

In CliffsNotes on A Raisin in the Sun, conflict arises when an insurance check provides the means to fulfill conflicting dreams for Lena Younger (Mama) and her children Walter Lee and Beneatha. Hope, racism, feminism, and pride in African heritage are some of the themes in this play about a poor black family's struggle to gain middle-class acceptance in 1950s Chicago. The universal appeal of Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun addresses the effects of dreams deferred.
