             Characterizations:.
             Ruth Younger - Walter Younger's wife, who is about thirty years old. She was probably a pretty girl, but now she appears disappointed, weary, and tired. She still, however, possesses a "soft personality," always trying to please others and being easily embarrassed. At the same time she is emotionally strong; in spite of her economic and marital problems, she never succumbs to despair. Throughout the play she shares a close relationship with her in-laws. Although Ruth is not very aggressive, neither is she weak. She argues with Walter, but normally follows his advice and instructions. She quietly notices, resents, and tolerates Mama's terference in her upbringing of Travis. She is overly apologetic to Murchison, when he finds Beneatha and Walter dancing wildly to African music.
