Plot Analysis of A Raisin In the Sun 

Introduction

A narrative is often structured based on Aristotle’s Three Act plan. In the first act, the actors or characters are introduced. The viewers learn about the setting and begin to identify the problems facing the characters. In the middle act, the story’s actions rise to a climax, a pivotal moment in which a shift occurs in the play. In the last act, the denouement, a resolution occurs.
