Rury 219 TUNIC
The overall tone of this passage is:
comic.
angry
regretful.
BENEATHA (giggling fiercely): Travis-we were trying
to make Mama Mrs. Miniver-not Scarlett O'Hara!
MAMA (indignantly): What's the matter with you all!
This here is a beautiful hat! (Absurdly.) I always wanted
me one just like it!
She pops it on her head to prove it to her grandson, and
the hat is ludicrous and considerably oversized.
RUTH: Hot dog! Go, Mama!
WALTER (doubled over with laughter): I'm sorry, Mama
-but you look like you ready to go out and chop you
some cotton sure enough!
-A Raisin in the Sun,
Lorraine Hansberry
