In "A Raisin in the Sun," Lorraine Hansberry explores the struggles of the Younger family, an African American family living in Chicago during the 1950s. The story centers around their dreams and aspirations as they await a $10,000 insurance check following the death of the patriarch. Each family member grapples with their desires: Walter Lee wants to invest in a liquor store, Beneatha yearns for medical school, and Ruth seeks stability. Tensions arise as they confront racism, economic hardships, and gender roles, ultimately highlighting the complexities of identity and the pursuit of the American Dream in a segregated society.
