The inciting incident of "A Raisin in the Sun" occurs when the Younger family learns about a $10,000 insurance check that the deceased Mr. Younger's wife is to receive. This event sets in motion their aspirations and conflicts over how to use the money, shaping the rest of the play's narrative.
Once the Exposition has come to an end, the Inciting Incident begins the forward movement of the plot.

I think the inciting incident would be when Jonas becomes the Reciever because that is where the story leads up to when he find out about "release" and runs away. -RS
You need the inciting incident early in the story, so usually in the exposition or rising action.

The pestilence is the inciting incident in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the inciting incident describes the event that triggers all subsequent happenings in the play. It therefore is the pestilence with which Oedipus, the priest of Zeus and the suppliants are concerned when the play opens. The characters spend the rest of the play finding the cause and carrying out the solution to bad harvests, declining populations and dying livestock. Without the inciting incident of the pestilence, there in fact will be no story.
It is the event that sets in motion the central conflict of the story.
Lorraine Hansberry won the Drama Critics Circle Aware in 1959 for A Raisin in the Sun.
