Dramarama

Overall, A raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry is a drama. This is mainly due to the heavy topics it addresses rather bluntly. The use of racially malicious terms situations are not seen in modern culture on a regular basis. Hansberry writes about houses being bombed because its inhabitants are not of a desired skin color. While this is upsetting, it is extremely difficult to relate to. This does not happen in modern times nearly as often as it used to. Still, at the time, this was extremely prevalent. African Americans were abused and forved to live in fear. If this is not the making of a drama, nothing could ever be.
