Question 5

LORRAINE HANSBERRY: A Raisin in the Sun

 

What aspects of Walter’s character are revealed in the play?


Observation

 

A few candidates attempted this question. Candidates who answered this question gave mere narrations and failed to meet the demand of the question.

Candidates’ response should include:

  • • Theme of a system of racial discrimination that create anger and resistance among segments of black Americans in relation to how it also affects Walter’s character.
  • • Walter as a member of a family.
  • • Walter’s living and working conditions.
  • • Walter’s attitude to racism.
  • • Walter’s behaviour towards his family, friends and business.

 

Candidates’ performance in this question was poor.
