A Raisin In the Sun
Lorraine Hansberry
Walter yells, "WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE LISTEN TO ME TODAY!" (472). Walter is the prime example of how I view a man that has not truly learned from his experiences. He is a man that is very self-absorbed, until he gets what he wishes, and then he will willingly share. He is a frustrating character throughout the play because of how he responds to situations. He does not speak up to his wife when he learns about her abortion. Walter continually yells at members of his family, because they do not support his idea to become an owner of a liquor store. However, as soon as he is able to make the transaction to start the business, he is happy go lucky and nothing can go wrong. (Until of course it does) Now that the family has lost all of the insurance money, he finally learns that it is important to his family to be able to start anew. He tells Mr. Lindner that they will move into their new house, and in doing so, allows for his family to begin again. Though we do not know how the new home turned out, I would have to infer that their new home would allow for a better family environment.
