A Raisin in the Sun Textual Analysis (2008)

The flick A Raisin in the Sun (2008) is the hybridity genre of comedy and a realist drama. Its background is a small apartment in Chicago, in the 1950s at times of racism segregation and also segregation towards women. The situation is that the protagonist is the film wants to be rich. The target reference for this film would be from the geezerhood of 18+ as I feel it is directed more to the sure-enough(a) people in society although the film is a PG.Its demographic audience would be some one of the B-C2 range. A Raisin in the Sun Todorovs narrative structure starts with equilibrium as even though the family is vile they are still happy even though they are seek. in like manner as they receive the life insurance from Lenas late husband. It moves on to disruption of equilibrium as when Lena gives Walter the coin he loses it in his business. The disequilibrium continues as Ruth, Walters wife falls pregnant and is scared to tell Walter.The reinstatement of equilibrium is when L ena buys the kinsfolk and they are all able to move in and are last happy. The codes and convections that show the poorness of the family were at that place dress codes. There all wore cloths that would be worn by someone of a lower soma as they were dirty and you could see that they were sewn back up in places. If they were of the richer class they would wear expensive suits and dress.They lived in a small apartment where there son had to sleep on the sofa, Beneatha and Lena had to share a room, this connotates that the family are struggling and there not enough room for everyone in the small apartment. They had to light up early in the morning just to have a bath in time for work. All these add up to the circumstance that the segregation in those times was bad, and black people had to struggle to survive, and be persistent to be able to find their way through life. A Subversion of gender comes in three times Firstly Walter ridicules Beneatha for missing to be a doctor.In the 1950s women tended to be nurses not doctors as they felt men were much more capable and smarter this. But Beneatha had the patience and had family should of supported her. The second time is when Lena Younger chooses to give Walter the money kind of of Beneatha who needed it more for her education, just because Walter was the man of the house by Lenas gesture codes you can connotate that she didnt really want to give him the money but felt she had to just to please him..The third time was when Beneatha began to secern that she doesnt believe in God, which earned her a slap across the face from her mother. The director increases the diegetic sound of the slap to emphasize on the wideness of it. Also bringing in a close up on Beneathas face to show her reaction. Her reaction dennotates shock however connotates the item that shes hurt that her mum would ever do something like that to her.
