In the third, and final Unit for my Drama class, we discussed the role of the matriarch. We looked for common traits that matriarchs do and the role that he/she plays in their lives. To get a better understanding of a matriarch, we read A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry. The play focused on an African’ American family struggling on the South side of Chicago. The play also focused on a matriarch figure who seemed to want nothing but the best for her family. This play helped us get a better understanding of what a matriarch is and their common duties. For our Action Project we looked at chorus's and how they can impact our last action project, in a good way. Choruses usually have two major things; the prologue and the commentary. With this I picked a scene from A Raisin in the Sun, and added three choruses helping the character make better decisions on the outcome of the actual play. I chose mama, the matriarch in the play. There is a scene where mama hits her son, Walter because of a poor decision he makes.The question I have came up with to help better my script is; Can a mother have too much trust and expectation in her kid?. This question is pushed through out the script because Mama only wants the best for her children. Down below is where you can find my script, as well as the audio version.
