A hyperbole is either a word or a sentence in a text that shows an overstatement (an exaggeration), it does not have to be literal; it is just a way to express your ideas in order to generate a contrast or to get the reader's attention.
In the excerpt the hyperboles (exaggerations) are:
- <u><em>Your name--think of it! Man,</em></u><u><em> they'll flock in droves</em></u><u><em>, these rich Londoners; they'll fight for that stock! </em></u>
When the writer says <em>"they'll flock in droves", </em>he refers to a very big amount of people together.
- <em><u>In less than twenty-four hours London was </u></em><em><u>abuzz</u></em><em><u>!</u></em>
When the writer uses the word <em>"abuzz", </em>it does not mean the city was on fire; it means the city was lively busy.

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.
