Please explore what makes the plays A Raisin In the Sun and Awake and Sing similar and different in regards to their thematic elements. Both plays share the theme of the American dream, as well as portray the lives of families from different cultures during a time of struggle and turmoil not only within their family, but socially as well. The plays are similar, but at the same time, they are different because of the different ways characters approach the situations their in. Please try and examine the major characters in both plays and analyze why they do the things they do (give examples of scenes too.) Please provide further insight on both plays and use the scholarly sources I have uploaded for you to help better illustrate the your point.

NO PLAGIARISM! If I see that there’s plagiarism, I won’t hesitate to report you!

How would his approach be different to meet the demands of our culture?

 

4. Choose one or two of Pseudolus’ monologues in Plautus’ play to subject to close reading. You may analyze, e.g., how Pseudolus’ language characterizes the clever slave, what meta-theatrical functions he performs, and/or how his speeches relate to comedy’s role in society.
