Walter is angry with George because he feels that George represents the privileged, wealthy class that looks down on him and his dreams. Walter is frustrated by George's condescending attitude and his lack of understanding of the struggles faced by Walter and his family. Additionally, Walter is upset that George dismisses his aspirations and the importance of his family's legacy, highlighting a deeper conflict about identity and ambition. This tension reflects Walter's desire for recognition and respect in a society that marginalizes him.
In "A Raisin in the Sun," when Walter tries to tell George about his plans for the liquor store, George dismissively interrupts him, expressing skepticism about Walter's ambitions. He views Walter's dreams as unrealistic and impractical, reflecting his privileged perspective and condescending attitude. This interaction highlights the tension between Walter's aspirations and the limitations imposed by his circumstances, as well as the broader themes of class and ambition in the play.
