Notes of Act 3

In the last scene, there are two characters that I think are most important. One is Benetha. Because of the loss of the money, she questioned her future and wondered if her dream was feasible. At this time Asagai came to comfort her. He condemned Benetha's dependence on money and put forward his idea of ​​returning to Africa. He hopes to help African reforms so that they can also be fully proud of their true home and race. The other was Walter, who initially wanted to compromise the idea of ​​getting money and moving out of the new house. And then he made insulting actions about black people, which made Lena and Benetha very angry. But in the end, he refused, and the confrontation with Lindner made Lena and Ruth feel that he had become a real adult. He realized that being proud of his family was far more important than money. It also changed his dream, he no longer simply desires money.
