A RAISION IN THE SUN
Pavel [41]

Beneatha believes that she has the ability to change her life and achieve her dreams. She does not believe that women should be limited to domestic services, they do not need a husband to live, nor are they obliged to start a family. This can be seen when she states that she wants to be a doctor and that marriage is not a priority in her life. She wants to grow professionally first and be independent, as she believes that all women should be.

Ruth and Lena, have more traditional and conservative thoughts about the role of women in society. This is shown when they put themselves in situations where men are exalted and do not bother to be limited to domestic services where men are served by women, who care only for the home and any children. They also believe that the greatest ambition a woman can have is to find a husband who can support her and put a roof over her head.
