      A Raisin in the Sun by  Lorraine Hansberry  is a incredible play about a poor black family in south side Chicago in the 1930's. Its an incredible tale about Human struggles, hopes, and most importantly dreams. The play does an amazing job of making each character unique and relatable in many different ways. Each character from Mama to Walter Lee Jr. has a different dream and hope for the family, as in real life sometimes each persons dream's don't correlate or fit perfectly together with one another but ultimately wanting what's best for their family wins out. The sum of the Younger family's parts were greater then each individuals wants.

A dolls house was a very interesting play as well and a compelling character narrative. When one truly analyzes the characters in the play there is a lot of variation and human development epically with Nora who at the end of the play recognizes her true worth and pushes back against the establishment that treated her as nothing more then a doll in a man's world.
