Scene Summary and Context
A Raisin in the Sun, written by Lorraine Hansberry, is set in Chicago during the 1950s. The play explores the struggles of an African American family, the Youngers, as they pursue their dreams amidst racial discrimination and economic hardship. The scene highlights the family's internal conflicts and aspirations, reflecting broader themes of racial identity, hope, and societal barriers. In one poignant moment, Walter Lee Younger dreams of economic success and independence, while Beneatha aspires to become a doctor, challenging traditional gender roles. The family receives a check from the deceased father's life insurance policy, prompting discussions of financial priorities and future plans.
