Fighting for the Dream in A Raisin in the SunSet in a cramped apartment in poor Southside Chicago, Lorraine Hansberry, through realistic jargon, recounts the struggles of five Black family members struggling against racism to gain acceptance into the middle class in 1959. After Walter Younger's business "partner" leaves town with part of the family's $10,000 inheritance, the son desolately returns home to break the news to his family that their hopes for the future have been stolen and their dreams for a better life have been shattered. Redeeming himself in the eyes of his family, Walter refuses to sell out his race to prejudiced white Clybourne Park speaker Karl Lindner, who offers to pay off the Youngers to keep them from moving into the neighborhood. Hansberry highlights the different values ​​of a black and white culture by attempting to alienate young people from the affluent white community. The attributes of pride and prejudice are assigned to Walter and Karl respectively to define the assumptions of their stereotypical society. The show opens with Mama Younger awaiting the arrival of a $10,000 insurance check for her husband's death. Her mother sees this inheritance as a chance to escape the ghetto life of Chicago's Southside and decides to use some of the money as a down payment on a house in an all-white neighborhood. His brilliant daughter Beneatha sees the inheritance as an opportunity to realize her dream and attend medical school. His son Walter becomes obsessed with the business, ever since he hears about the $10,000 insurance check. Desperate to rise in society and convinced that money will solve all his economic and social problems, Walter has a request that is difficult to ignore. Thirty-five-year-old Walter sees this as his last chance to land his dream business and invest with some friends in a liquor store. This way, he could quadruple his money, and he thinks this will make him a more worthy man. Walter promises that if he can only get the money, he can restore to the family all the blessings that their hard life has denied them. Against her better judgment, the mother gives in to her son's desire. He must admit that life's chances have never been good for him and that he deserves the opportunity that money could give him. As soon as he invests the money, his so-called "friend" leaves town.
