What character transforms the most in A Raisin in the Sun?

The
character who changes the most isYounger, Jr. One of the most important things about Walters
transformation is that he is an adult whose views seem to have been set and, throughout much of
the play, seem unlike to change. Walters stubbornness, his patriarchal attitude toward women,
and his irresponsible approach to money are a dangerous combination. Rather than trust in his
mother and wife, Walter is easily swayed by his male friends, which results in his getting
swindled. Walter clings to an antiquated model of success that depends on male superiority and
rejects a collaborative attitude. For example, he prioritizes dream of having a
businessselling alcohol in a very poor neighborhoodover his mothers plan to create a solid, safe
home for the whole family and his sisters dream of becoming a doctor. When Walter is finally
forced to confront the hypocrisy of their white future neighbors in Clybourne Park, his eyes are
finally opened and he takes a stand on behalf of the whole familyand, many have argued, for all
black peopleby refusing Llinders buyout. This act marks Walters reaching full adult status as he
re-evaluates the meaning of manhood.
