A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry

4.0

I'm going to be straight up honest and say that Beneatha is the best character here. It is very obvious that every character here represents one problem or a typical person of black community of that time. Mama - the religious older lady, Walter - the (overly) ambitious man, Ruth - just be a mom and a houseworker is enough for her, Beneatha - the (rightfully) ambitious woman, Travis - just a regular kid. Personally, I believe that Beneatha is the only character that is realistic, she brought up great points of religion with which I agree (but she got beaten by her mom), I like how she is ambitious and works hard for her dreams unlike her brother Walter who is almost on his knees begging for that check so he could invest in a very suspicious liquor store.

This is not a review, just a simple Beneatha appreciation post because she is taken for granted by her family.
