I emphasize with Mama because she takes all the hits despite the fact she's also trying to keep things together, yet her efforts are going unnoticed.

# data[].attributes.body
Mama is caring, strong-willed, and wise. We see when she argues with Walter she didn't give up and told him what he needed to hear. She knows that their struggling but still takes the hits when Walter and the others snap back.

Walter is discontent, aggressive, and immature. Specifically we see that he constantly is blaming others for his problems and is dissatisfied with the people and things he has in life. For example, when he blames Mama for not "supporting" him, when he pushes to see the check they got, and pushing away the people he loves because he's blinded by his own self.

George refers to Walter Lee as "Prometheus" in an attempt to subtly insult him, but more to showcase Walter's lack of knowledge. Walter Lee's lack of formal knowledge is evident in this scene, as he feels George has simply fabricated the title "Prometheus" to upset him. Prometheus was a Titan in Greek mythology who, after stealing fire from the other gods, was bound to a stake and subject to an eagle forever eating his liver. George can tell that something is “eating” Walter and that Walter is becoming isolated and resentful.

I relate to Mama the most because she tries to be grateful for everything and just cares about her family. I don't exactly relate to the way she does it because she still has issues, but I think family is very important.

# data[].attributes.body
Mama is caring, grateful, and stubborn. She is shown to be caring and grateful when yelling at Walter about how she's just glad that she has a roof over her family's head. She's grateful that her whole family is together in one place. She is shown to be stubborn when talking about the baby. She says that Walter should try to stop his wife getting rid of the baby even though they can't afford a baby.

# data[].attributes.body
Walter Lee is ambitious, frustrated, and fearful. During one of Walter's many monologues, he talked about not having anything and wanting something to pass on to his kids. He said that after being alive for 35 years he has nothing, he's frustrated with not having anything and fearful that he will die with nothing to pass on.

# data[].attributes.body
There are several comparisons that can be made between Prometheus and Walter. On the surface, we can see that they are are both very ambitious, and willing to go great lengths to get what they want. But a better connection can be made about Prometheus having his liver eaten out every day. He has a dream, so strong that it eats him alive not to go out and get it. He also eats his own liver in a way, since he drinks so much he is probably ruining it.

I feel the worst for Walter, because he has been so stubborn and shortsighted that he's kinda dug himself a hole. The reason he keeps bursting into anger every time the family refuses the business proposal is because he himself knows that its hopeless, and that it will never happen, but he doesn't allow himself give up on his dream and move on, so he's in a sort of limbo where the longer he tries to convince Ruth and mama to give him money for his business, the more desperate he becomes, and the more trust he loses from his family as a result of that. It's a downwards spiral of hopelessness until either a miracle happens, and the business gets the money, or he moves on and accepts that he won't be able to start the business. Unfortunately, it looks like neither of those is happening soon.

# data[].attributes.body
Through Walter's argument with George, we learned that Walter values "Manhood" above all else. Which he thinks of as the ability to provide financially for his family without any help. We gain this insight through this line:

" I see you all all the time—with the books tucked under your arms—going to you (British  A—a mimic) "clahsses." And for what! What the hell you learning over there ? Filling up your heads—(counting off on his fingers)—with the sociology and the psychology—but they teaching you how to be a man? How to take over and run the world? They teaching you how to run a rubber plantation or a steel mill? Naw— just to talk proper and read books and wear them faggoty-looking white shoes . . "

Walter is impatient, stubborn, and unhappy.

Walter is constantly asking if ___ has arrived yet, which among other things, paints him as impatient. Two examples are from Pg24 of the PDF, where Walter says to Willie Harris over the phone "Did you get the papers from the lawyer?.  .  .", and on Pg4 of the PDF where he says to Ruth "Check coming today?"

Walter is shown as Stubborn by his unwillingness to give up his idea of starting a business, and constantly getting in arguments about whether or not it should happen. This is shown in the text on Pg35 of the PDF where after mama calmly refuses to look over the details of Willie and Walter's business proposal, Walter abruptly shouts "WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE LISTEN TO ME TODAY!".

Finally, Walter is depicted as unhappy because we only ever see him, either drunk, or trying to convince the family that the business proposal is a good idea. We never see him truly happy, and what we do see of him is strained, trying to start a business that he probably knows that will never happen. Text evidence of this is littered throughout the book, but a direct example can be found in all of his dialogue in Scene II, which starts at Pg35 of the PDF

# data[].attributes.body
We learned that Walter is an alcoholic and a very angry person. He is full of himself, degrading George because of his college education and acting like he was better, needlessly getting into an argument. We learn how he is unhappy with his life, and we also learn about his aspirations and how his inability to reach them has made him very angry and bitter, causing him to lash out.

Lorraine Hansberry depicts Walter Lee as confrontational, ambitious, and unhappy. So far, Walter Lee has gotten into an argument with his wife, his mom, and George. In all of these arguments, one of the things he keeps mentioning is his ambition and how he wants to own a liquor store. He is unhappy with the way his life is, telling his mom how he hates being a chauffeur.

# data[].attributes.body
What I learned about Walter throughout his argument with George is that Walter is simply getting frustrated. He always uses strong words to insult other people when they talk back to him because he thinks that he has better knowledge than other people and no one wants to understand his decision. But, the only thing that he could do is call someone's shoes f******.

# data[].attributes.body
I'd say I probably emphasize for Ruth the most because of all the chaos she is looped in inside the household. With Mama having full power of the house (meaning Mama has control over Ruth in the house despite being an adult), and Walter with his chaotic personality, along with her considering abortion, I think she has been through a lot in this film so that is really unfortunate for her.

# data[].attributes.body
Wise, calm, and caring. Mama is a strong woman because she has taken care of her stubborn son for 35 years. She stayed calm when talking to Walter even though Walter just yelled at her and threw stuff away. She was still trying to advise her son that money is not the most relevant thing in this world when his family is here, and the baby is inside Ruth's stomach.

# data[].attributes.body
Walter Lee is Confrontational, Aggressive, and Authentic. He is confrontational for obvious reasons, due to the fact that he is always in the center of drama in the house with another person. There were hardly any scenes where there was drama without him. He is Aggressive because whenever he is in drama, he does get loud and disrespectful at times with Mama especially, since Mama didn't listen to him when Walter was trying to show the paper to her. And finally, he is authentic because he is showing his true character, and while it isn't a GOOD genuine type personality, he never hides about his feelings which makes his personality more OUT there.

# data[].attributes.body
I think George called Walter Prometheus because George is currently in college and he most likely learned about him recently. George most likely has an idea who Prometheus is and is guessing Walter doesn't. It is a double insult because Walter will feel stupid and then once he learns who Prometheus is, he will be angry because Prometheus is a god with some negative association. Prometheus is a Titan god of fire, he is known for stealing fire from the gods and helping humanity. There is no clear reason why out of every god, George called him Prometheus but it could be to make Walter be portrayed as a thief.

# data[].attributes.body
Walter Lee can be described as irritable, immature, and greedy. Walter can be seen as immature because in his fight with mama, his first instinct was to leave and go drinking and was refusing to talk to his wife who was going to tell him she was pregnant. It took mama telling him that his wife was pregnant to stay. He was half way out the door when she reveled it and he would have been gone if she didn't say it

# data[].attributes.body
Struggling, short temper and rude. Walter was really furious and lose control when someone talks back to him like Beneatha and George did when they talked about life. When he is run out of words to talk to George, he started to disparaging what George is wearing like throwing strong words to George's shoes and pants.

# data[].attributes.body
We learned through the argument with George that Walter is easy to anger and uses his size and strength to scare people. We saw multiple examples of this when he was fighting with George but also with his argument with Mama.

He has nothing to back himself. He doesn't have a career that he's proud of, he lives in a small home, and he doesn't have a lot of money. So because of his insecurities, he feels the need to find other ways to dominate other people. So he insults and degrades other men to make himself feel superior.

Mama is hopeful, stern, and strong. During her argument with Walter she never once gave up on what she believes and what she is trying to communicate to Walter. She knows that their family is having a hard time financially and maybe aren’t living the best life together, but she makes the best of it, and knows that it could be worse and that it might in fact even be better then how she lived when she was younger. She also doesn’t let Walter get the best of her and knows that Walter should not disrespect her under her roof and in her presence.

I learnt from Walter's fight with George, that Walter is easily frustrated and likes to use his words and body language to assert himself over people.

I think George called Walter Prometheus to imply that he was an alcoholic as well as to annoy him. In the story of Prometheus, Zeus punished Prometheus by having an eagle eat his liver for eternity. Alcoholism can damage your liver, much like how the eagle damaged Prometheus's liver. Rather than directly calling him an alcoholic, George may have implied Walter was one using a mythological figure because he knew Walter would not understand. Since earlier, Walter had shown his distaste for George's college education, George knew it would annoy Walter if he flaunted his education by using Prometheus as an insult.

Mama is a Leader, she's Caring, & she's Dramatic. Mama is a leader because we know that she's owns the house that she, Ruth, Walter, & Beneatha live in, so with her leader role, they must abide by her rules in her house. She is caring because while getting into arguments, she still shows her love towards them. For example, with her argument with Walter, when she got mad that he only cared about money, she let him know that she still loves him. And finally, she is Dramatic because she can get loud and argumentative when needed to be, so when someone's is in the wrong, she yells at them to try and get them to own up to their mistake.

Mama is a great mother and grandmother. When she got the money she didn't care about it. She refuse to take a vaction. She seems to be strong person looking out her plants.

Walter Lee is short tempered, stubborn, and angry. It seems he has one way of thinking and when somebody doesn’t agree with that he won’t let them get away with that thinking. This shows up in his argument with Mama and how even though he lives with Mama and in her house, he doesn’t seem to respect what she’s saying and what’s she went through. Although he acts like this, I think it’s because of his drinking and lack of respect for people in his family.

Angry, hostile, want to provide. It seems like Walter Lee is sometimes angry and hostile towards his family. He wants to provide for his family and "be somebody in this world".
