Raisins in the Sun
Literature阳光下的葡萄干
(u. S.) Lorraine Hansberry
"A Raisin in the Sun" is a masterpiece by American playwright Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965). It was created in 1959. The title of the play is taken from the poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes (1902-1967). Taking the anti-black discrimination movement as the background, the author compares the young black family with dreams to raisins exposed to the cruel sun, and describes their story of supporting each other and holding on to their dreams in the social whirlpool of racial discrimination. This play, known as "the first play to show the living conditions of African Americans on the stage," has continued vitality in the United States. There are two movies with the same name. Screenwriter Lorraine Hansberry, as a famous black female playwright, has been interpreted by many viewers from a "feminist" perspective. But in "Raisins in the Sun", the female images in northern cities are no longer subject to the oppression of male power like traditional southern women. They have achieved independence of personality, have a stronger breadth of vision, and have a higher ability to accept modern civilization. This script also adds a new interpretation to the world of female discourse.
