I think the most troubled relationship in the end of act I is Walter and Mama because it seems like Walter is focused on his family and his money. While Mama is focused on her family, her family’s safety and her religion. Mama is mad at Walter and Ruth for trying to go threw with the abortion because they do not think they can support this new child, but Mama is against abortion and does not want the abortion to happen.

I feel that the relationship that has the most trouble in the First Act is between Mama and Walter. They have completely different views on life in general. For example, Walter cares too much about money, while Mama feels religion and family should be the number one priority in her household. Also, Mama wants Ruth to keep the baby, and feels Walter should step up and be a man in this situation. (pg. 74).

There are probably two relationships that are struggling the most. The relationship between Mama and Beneatha, from what it seems, is not the way Mama would want it to be. Beneatha does not really respect the way Mama feels about God, and Beneatha is not keeping her thoughts to herself which makes Mama very mad. Since Beneatha is doing this in a disrespectable manner, Mama gets up and slaps her daughter right across the face. (pg. 51) The second relationship that is struggling is the one between Walter and Ruth. Walter is not listening to his wife when she is trying to tell him about the new baby. (pg. 71)She is wanting to go on a walk with him, and he refuses to let her come with him.

The relationship I think struggles the most is Mama and Beneatha. I say this because in act one they went through some changes. Especially when Beneatha was running off at the mouth, and Mama slapped her in the face. I knew right there that they had some difficulties in their mother and daughter relationship. I think mama and Beneatha go at it alot because Beneatha is the only girl, who has a smart mouth, and goea against mamas beliefs and feelings. Also Beneatha wishes she could take Travis place. He’s the youngest so what Beneatha needs to understand is that Mama love all thekids equaly, but Travis just gets more attention cause he is the youngest.

I believe that the relationship having the most trouble by the end of Act 1 would be between Walter and Ruth. Walter seems to only care about investing into the liquor store while Ruth would rather him not use the money for that reason. Another reason they are having the most issues is because Ruth is pregnant but she doesn’t want to bring another child into the world and deal with the poverty. There would be poverty because if Walter wants to use Mama’s check for his own selfish reasons, it could lead into the seperation of the Younger family.

Walter and Ruth’s relationship is doing the worst rite now. Walter wants her to keep the baby and Ruth wants to have a abortion. They haven’t been seeing eye to eye really since we first started the book.

I think that ruth and walter because at the end of act 1 walter found out that he had another child on the way and he never knew until his own mother said something about it.

By the end of Act I, I think that Walter and Ruth’s relationship is having the most problems. This is because Ruth was trying to tell Walter about her being pregnant, and he just didn’t want to hear it. Also, he isn’t really caring too much about his family, and more about the check that is coming in the mail for mama, and all of his dreams of what he wants to do with that money.
