ESSAY ON: Raisin in the Sun & Antigone

Number of Pages 7

This research paper: A 7 page essay that contrasts and compares these two works. While separated by millennia, the twentieth century play Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry and the ancient Greek play Antigone by Sophocles share thematic similarities due to the fact that in each work there are characters who rebel against the standards of society, as well as those who submit to societal pressure and expectation. In both works, the message is conveyed that what society may call rebellion, when it is motivated by firm moral principle, actually is the path to emotional growth, and represents loyalty to a higher calling than the one offered by the state or society. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
