A Raisin in the Sun by: Lorraine Hansberry Dreams are as necessary to people as food and shelter. The author, Lorraine Hansberry, scrutinizes a family whom is obsessed with becoming successful. Consistently living amongst the shelter of South Chicago, Beneatha and Walter long to escape poverty and become prosperous. Throughout the play, A Raisin in the Sun, the author displays a parallelism between the characters and the theme of “dreams”. The character, Walter Younger, becomes extremely fascinated in a dream in which he owns his own business to solve all his social and economic problems. For instance, Walter demands Mama to give him all the insurance money they are bound to receive. He comes across as a desperate man shocked by poverty and prejudice. He carries an infinite preoccupation to own a business to resolve all his profound, puzzling, problems of being poor.
