    The play “A Raisin in the Sun” by Lorraine Hansberry depicts an African American family with many struggles, and by analyzing their struggles, certain lessons and the theme of this drama can be identified. While the family does seem to hold together, there are many problems that arise, such as having family issues, trying to fit into a community of a different race, struggling financially, etc. By the end of the play it seems as if the family has been able to figure things out a little more, but the root cause of most of their problems seemed to have come from money.

    The paucity of power is one struggle which many marginalised groups experience. Repeatedly, the "inferior" individuals are forced to collude with the dominant culture's practices and beliefs. Jack Davis' play, No Sugar, relates the various ways in which different characters react to the pressure to conform to contemporary Australian society, and the effect this has on their survival. The initial behaviour of characters such as Sam, Jimmy, Billy, David and Cissy sometimes foreshadows their ultimate fate of survival or demise. The power dominant white males in authority exhibit over other characters in the text, particularly and specifically the Aboriginal community, plays a key role in conveying the unequal power relations of society, and the way in which this behaviour forces minority groups to assimilate into society's expectations by losing their own cultural identity.…
