Prometheus
Prometheus
George is simply mocking Walter with an allusion Walter won't understand OR George sees Walter as futilely challegkng the will of the gods.
In "A Raisin in the Sun," George sarcastically calls Walter "Prometheus" to mock his aspirations and dreams, referencing the Greek mythological figure who defied the gods to bring fire (knowledge and progress) to humanity. George's sarcasm highlights his condescending attitude towards Walter's desire for a better life and his struggle against societal limitations. By using this reference, George underscores his belief that Walter's ambitions are foolish and unattainable. This moment reflects the broader themes of dreams and the barriers faced by African American characters in the play.
Because the rich man is rich and he can call him whatever he wants and w4lt3r is poor so he can eb called whatever someone want to call him. GG good game.
Walter is compared to Prometheus in "A Raisin in the Sun" because both characters embody the struggle for personal aspiration and the pursuit of a better future. Just as Prometheus defied the gods to bring fire and enlightenment to humanity, Walter seeks to uplift his family and secure their dreams through his ambitious plans. However, like Prometheus, Walter faces significant obstacles and sacrifices, highlighting the themes of aspiration, suffering, and the consequences of striving for a better life. This comparison underscores his role as a tragic hero in the pursuit of his family's dignity and dreams.
It would not be; Prometheus implies "forethought" and the helper of humans and forefather of humanity.
