An absolutely timeless tale of a Black family from the South Side of Chicago trying to make their dreams a reality. In each character, we see a struggle to reach new heights, whether for themselves or others. Hansberry did so much to give life to these people that feel so familiar: the dreamer daughter, the man of the house that yearns for success, and the mothers that just want to keep it all together.  

Reading plays is never as good as seeing them live as they are meant to be, but Hansberry gives enough emotion and passion in their dialogue that comes to life so easily in the mind.

I will admit, Walter was getting on my nerves throughout the majority of the play as his goals were a little more selfish and his attitude was so condescending, but I could at least see where he was coming from. Not sure if his choice at the end is necessarily the right choice, but it feels natural for his character.
