The identities of the authors go hand in hand with the plays that they wrote. I think both of the plays were written in the time period that they took place. You can tell that especially in A Raisin In The Sun. The characters had to deal with segregation and Lorraine Hansberry dealt with the same thing as well as women’s rights. I think that Oedipus Rex was written sometime b.c. and it is set in the mythical past of ancient Greece. Sophocles lived from 496b.c. and 406b.c. His play is written in an old Greek style, the same way that he would have spoke.

Each one of these stories reflects the author in a few ways. The most obvious is the time period in which each one of these stories was written. both authors used the setting in their stories to directly reflect the time period they lived in. In A Raisin in the Sun, the author grew up in a time where people were not viewed with equal rights due to race. The family in the story was a direct reflection of this. In Oedipus Rex the language the author uses. His style of writing is not as prominent today as it was giving it an archaic feeling and reflecting the culture he lived in.

In each of the plays that is told by both of the authors they reflect their cultural identities in a few ways. One way of course is the time period that each story takes place in. In the case of the a Raisin in the Sun the author depicted a time in which peoples rights where not equal and how the family had to just scrape by. I can say by the way Lorraine Hansberry depicts the conflict and the time that the story was in that she herself has went through the same thing in her own life. Of course in the story Oedipus Rex the time period was way before my time. Sophocles writing style is what shows how he incorporates his culture in his literature. His style is common with other authors of the time period.

It seems to me that Hansberry wrote her story and used the place she lived as the setting she lived in the south side of Chicago where her father bought a house. In the story a raisin in the sun the younger family put a down payment on a house in white neighborhood and the neighbor offering to pay them not to live there. But the man Walter refused the money . Well Hansberry had a first hand accout much like the one she wrote about in the story her father bought a house in a white neighborhood and then encountered grate opposition in doing so even went as far as the supreme court in 1940. Sophocles and his play/ story Oedipus Rex. I don’t really make a connection between him and the story I don’t believe his wife was killed or that he was ever exiled without his children. He came from a wealthy family and he was the best play writer of his time so sounds to me he had a really good imagination

Oedipus Rex was written in a time era way before A Raisin in the Sun. Therefor the cultural identity are going to be different due to the differences in time. As time changed so did the cultural identities. Oedipus Rex was a story of gods and war, stories that entertain and applied to that type of time era. Meanwhile a raisin in the sun was a story of slavery and black women rights, and how the lifestyles of African Americans differ from white Americans. In the time of Oedipus Rex, slavery was not an issue of race and during A Raisin in the Sun, people were warriors and sacrificed different gods that stood for various things.

The main influence of Lorraine Hansberry is the cultural time frame at which this author was raised, during discrimination. The main influence of any thought processes would be do to racial times.
Racism was everywhere in this period and people that were raised up in this period had to live in hate. The hate that filled the air during these times would push some to the edge to where that person couldnt handle it any longer. Writers' true hate would really shine whenever they were writing a story because that story would relate to their lives. People today couldnt take true hate as of that back in the day.
