A Raisin in the Sun

First published in 1959, this plays tells the story of a poor African American family during the 1950's. They are waiting for an insurance check since Walter Sr., Mama's husband passed away. This play has 3 generations of a family living in a two-bedroom apartment. This play is a 3-3.5/5 stars for me. I enjoyed the messages in this story and the overall themes but I found most of the characters to be unlikeable and annoying. I am a very character driven reader so if I don't like the characters or dislike them in a good way, the book or play just won't impact me. I did like some of the characters like Benetha and her whole situation but the other characters were just too annoying to me. The message in this play is fantastic though.
