WALTER (as he dances with RUTH): You know, when these New Negroes have their convention— (Pointing at his sister.)—that is going to be the chairman of the Committee on Unending Agitation. (He goes on dancing, then stops.) Race, race, race! . . . Girl, I do believe you are the first person in the history of the entire human race to successfully brainwash yourself. (BENEATHA breaks up and he goes on dancing. He stops again, enjoying his tease.) D*mn, even the N double A C P takes a holiday sometimes! (BENEATHA and RUTH laugh. He dances with RUTH some more and starts to laugh and stops and pantomimes someone over an operating table.) I can just see that chick someday looking down at some poor cat on an operating table and before she starts to slice him, she says . . . (Pulling his sleeve back maliciously.) "By the way, what are your views on civil rights down there? . . .”

He laughs at her again and starts to dance happily. The bell sounds.

BENEATHA: Sticks and stones may break my bones but . . . words will never hurt me!

What is the playwright's approach to developing the theme?

Lorraine Hansberry's 1959 play "A Raisin in the Sun" is a classic. The plot revolves around a Chicago-based black family. In the play, Walter and Beneatha are both casts as characters. Walter's wife, Ruth, and their mother, Lena, live with them as siblings.

On Saturday, the incident described above occurred (the moving day). Ruth was talking to Beneatha when she said that she and Walter had gone to see a movie.

Beneatha teased them when Walter danced and appeared with Ruth. Despite the fact that they don't get along with some of the play's concerns. They appear to be having a nice time as well.

Beneatha, for example, would regularly make fun of his brother for being poor and uneducated. However, the instance above demonstrates that even if Beneatha and Walter have opposing viewpoints about the world, they can get along.
