This question refers to "A Raisin in the Sun," a play by Lorraine Hansberry. Walter is one of the main characters, along with Mama and his sister, Ruth. For most of the play, Walter has the firm belief that money can solve any kind of problem. However, he has trouble making money. He also has trouble understanding that the money itself should not be an end to a means. Instead, it should be the means to an end, the resource used to get something that will help make people happy and comfortable. It is only at the end of the play that Walter is able to open his eyes to that. He finally sees that his mother's and sister's dreams are more important than to simply possess money.
