Question 5
LORRAINE HANSBERRY: A Raisin in the Sun
What impression do you form of Mama's character in the play?
Observation
Many candidates attempted this question. However, they dwelt on Mama's character without pointing out their impression.
Candidates' response should include:
• Mama is a strong willed widow.
• She is also an understanding and dutiful housewife.
• She is anti-racist.
• She demonstrates good managerial skills.
• She does all she can to unite the children and make them comfortable.
Candidates' performance in this question was fair.
