HOW DOES HANSBERRY POWERFULLY CONVEY WALTER’S FEELINGS TO YOU

IN THIS EXTRACT?

He does a very good job at portraying Walter as a very bitter, grumpy and
annoyed person because of all of the things he has lived in his life and the fact
that he doesn’t believe himself to be deserving of it. He is portrayed as
someone that looks life a little bit different, that thinks of himself as a man with
great ideas but that hasn’t had any opportunity, anyone to back him up on
them, making him angry at life, at the world and at everyone that thinks
different from him.
The author goes as far as to put in the same room two very different people
with very opposite circumstances: Walter and George: making the perfect
situation to accentuate the whole character that he’s being making for Walter
against the more educated and better socially positioned George, and to make
the point of clashing both realities with Walter attacking both George and the
people that study and not work as hard as he thinks that they should to
become a “man”.
