A_Raisin_In_The_Sun...Walter

A Raisin In The Sun...Walter In the book A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, Walter, the father of the Younger household, initially starts off selfish and resentful of others. He is forced to change because of different problems that arise in their little cramp apartment in which all 5 of them live. In the end, Walter has transformed from a selfish child into a lovely and compassionate husband and father. In the beginning of the book, Walter is selfish and he is very resentful to others. The only person he doesn’t seem to disrespect is his son, Travis, because Travis doesn’t ask for much from him. An example of his selfishness is when Walter was saying that Travis should get out of the bathroom because he needs it. When he doesn’t get it as fast as he thought he tells Ruth that Travis should get up earlier. Another example is on page 34, Walter was talking about how he is 34 and hasn’t amounted to anything and Ruth tells him to eat his eggs. “Damn my eggs-Damn all the eggs that ever was. See-I’m trying to talk to you ‘bout myself-and all you can say is eat them damn eggs!” There are many forces that walter, travis, tells, mama, house, going, because, move, linder, father, change, beneatha’s, selfish, over, out, mr, money, eggs, dream, doesn’t, book, about, whole, very, trying, thought, thing, tell, son, should, ruth, resentful, others, offer, off, neighborhood
