Lorraine Hansberry : The Romantic Realist

Hend Mohamed Samir;

Abstract


The purpose of this thesis is to tackle Lorraine Hansberry: The romantic realist in her plays : A Raisin in the Sun (1959), The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window (1965), and What Use Are Flowers ? (1972). The thesis attempts to examine Hansberry's conception of art which has carved her an important niche in the American Theater.
The objective of this study is to prove that in spite of the fact that Romanticism and Realism are two antithetical schools, they could be dovetailed. Thus, an investigation of both terms paves the way to expounding the term Romantic Realism. Hence, it pinpoints the origin, characteristics, as well as the features of Romantic Realism in drama.
Endowed with the credentials to become a romantic realist, Hansberry is given the credit of a unique and innovative
rom,,.a..n..-t-ic realist. She staunchingly believes in man's latent potentialities; she believes in the uniqueness of man.
Nevertheless, she authentically delineates life.
