Throughout the play Raisin in the Sun, written by Lorraine Hansberry, there are many characters that experience life-altering events. However, the future of ones life is dependent on how one diversenesss in order to reflect these experiences. Confucius himself once said, They must often change who would be constant in felicity or wisdom. In order to be truly clever and wise, one must change themselves in accordance with their surround and encounters on lifes path. This theme is clearly addressed in Lorraine Hansberrys play, and change in the characters is an integral part of the plot. We see change, or wish of it, through the three main characters: Lena Younger ( momma), Walter Lee Younger, and Beneatha Younger.
Lena Younger, who is referred to in the main as Mama throughout the play, is a prime specimen of how the lack of change she shows is a constant variable in her familys background. Mamas past shaped her and changed her before we meet her, to help top Mama the stabilizing factor in this story of godforsaken emotions; she had to work hard to make for herself the life that she is able to lead, which gave her a good work ethic and strong sense of morality. Mama is a very moral and religious woman, who is the definite dealer and matriarch of the Younger family. Her lack of change during the few weeks in which the play takes place reveals to the reader what her principles are.
Even though two Beneatha and Walter Lee challenge Mama, she is strong in her beliefs and faith in God. She is dead set to take care of her family, and the plant (a token of her family), no matter the cost. Her strict adherence to this conviction of hers allows for the former(a) characters to change around...
