Hindrance In Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin In The Sun

Setbacks have the aptitude to assure you that just because you are from somewhere else, you won’t have the same opportunities as the other person across the country. Nevertheless, either being tangible or conceptual, hindrance has the ability to reveal itself in numerous forms. Lingering within you, the process of redefining oneself in life becomes a necessity to all who roam the terrain of the world. Nonetheless, the social justices of society have the tendency to believe that this complexion will have no factor on how successful you are in life. Consequently, this shows a sense of fallaciousness. In Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin In The Sun, Beneatha Younger is trapped by the harsh realities of life, and the pitiful mistakes of the Younger family.

Theoretically speaking, nothing is ever limited by your imagination and the destination can be anywhere you desire. However, fantasies looking onward into the nontransparent future all depend on what is barricading you from reaching a mind state with

pure and genuine blissfulness. “What about all the crooks and thieves and just plain idiots who will come into power and steal and plunder the same as before”(Hansberry 133). Beneatha first thought of the idea to become a doctor during her childhood in Chicago. One winter, a boy named Rufus went down too fast on his sled when approaching the ice-covered stone steps of the houses down the street. He then hit the sidewalk and his face split open. When the ambulance came and took Rufus to the hospital and sewed him up, Beneatha never forgot that and it stuck to her. Thus, her passion and dreams of becoming a doctor, was born. She wanted to make people whole again and fix them up. But, that idea of hers is struck down when she faces racial prejudice people have towards her race. A sense of hope is taken from your soul and replaced with a pessimistic tone. Going through her mind, she had resentment with this dream when she realized people will continue to do horrible things over and over again. Being trapped in a mind state full of harmfulness, people will continue to inflict harm on innocent people. With having this conflicted attitude, it is plausible for people to follow through with their dreams, despite all the detrimental horrors of reality

Human error is more than common, it is an aspect of human nature.

When finalizing your dream and you know what you want to pursue in life, you will need a kick-start to get the momentum for your dream. Beneatha has dreams of becoming a doctor, but because of Walter, she is unable to final her goal of becoming a doctor. “He made an investment! With a man even Travis wouldn’t have trusted with his most worn-out marbles” (132). When Mama receives her check for ten thousand dollars, she buys a house with it and gives the remainder of the money to Walter to pay for Beneatha's medical school tuition and to open an account at the bank under his name. Consequently, Walter decides to invest all the money Mama gave him in a bar he opened with Willie Nelson and Bobo. After the transaction is completed, Walter finds out that Willie Nelson ran away with the money, leaving Walter and Bobo to suffer. When Walter tells Beneatha and Mama the news, they are upheld and

hysterically.
