Who is Walter Lee Younger in A Raisin in the Sun?
- 1 answer
Walter Lee Younger is Mama's (Lena Younger's) son and Travis Younger's father. He is a chauffeur for a rich white family, but has higher dreams. He desperately wants to have enough money to open a succesful business, and dreams of being a rich executive with an office bulding and a car of his own. He is emotionally unstable and puts his trust in the wrong people. He feels that his inability to fulfill his dreams and improve his life make him less than a man, and tries desperately to show his partriarchal abilities, especially in one scene in the play where he pretends to be an African chieftan. He probably suffers from depression and is, at heart, a child, despite all his struggle to improve and change his life on his own.

What cultural identities are implied by Sophocles in 'Oedipus Rex' and Lorraine Hansberry in 'A Raisin in the Sun'?
- 1 answer
Fateful ancient Greek and modern African American are the cultural identities respectively implied by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) in "Oedipus Rex" and Lorraine Hansberry (May 19, 1930 -- January 12, 1965) in "A Raisin in the Sun."
Specifically, the Oedipus story comes from the literature of ancient Greece. Hard work counts for nothing against the customized fate that the gods hand out to each mortal. In contrast, family ties and hard work may count for something when the Younger family receives a huge insurance check.

A Raisin in the Sun Act 3 What does Mama mean when she says Walter has come into his manhood?
- 1 answer
When he tells Mr. Lindner that they will move to Clybourne Park no matter what
Mama means that he has finally shown the family and his son that he is actually a grown man and can stick up for the family
Walter finally stepped up and did the right thing. Not the most profitable thing, not the most selfish thing, not the thing of the moment, but he chose the thing that was best for his whole family and he put his selfish dreams aside. He chose the long term gain.
He put his family's interest before his own.
Like in Spiderman 2. Aunt May: ""Sometimes, to dowhat's right, we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most."
That's something most of us have to decide every day.
Walter (Sean Combs), with the help of his mom (Felicia Rashad) finally "saw the sky" and became immovable for what was right.
To the receiver of this opinion, pardon my ineloquence (if that's a word), I hope I have written exactly what I mean.
I read a post where someone was asking "Why does Diddy look like a 2 year old in
this production." Probably because that's the part he was playing. He only became the giant he always wanted to be at the end fo the movie.
With that in mind, he delivered an outstanding performance.
