Question

What inferences can you make about Mama and Big Walter’s marriage?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. It can be inferred that Mama and Big Walter were not actually married when they moved in together.

Here is an excerpt:

MAMA: ... “Rat trap”—yes, that’s all it is.

(Smiling) I remember just as well the day me and Big Walter moved in here. Hadn’t been married but two weeks and wasn’t planning on living here no more than a year.

2. Mama and Big Walter were depressed because of the incident that occurred when Mama lost her child, Claude.

Below is an excerpt:

MAMA: ...And then, Lord, when I lost that baby—little Claude—I almost thought I was going to lose Big Walter too. Oh, that man grieved hisself! He was one man to love his children.

3. The only thing that may warrant Beneatha not seeing eye-to-eye with Mama or Ruth is on the issue of God. Beneatha doesn't in the existence of a GOD and that belief infuriates Mama so much. Mama had to slap Beneatha when she made a statement against God.
