¨There is always something left to love. And if you ain't learned that, you ain't learned nothing.”- Lorraine Hansberry. This quote helps me understand how much Lena loves her family. Ruth's dream was to move and get a better, improved house. Beneatha's dream in the future was to become a doctor and go to college. Lena had a dream to make her family happy.
