Shriver displays in this text a metaphorically chilling set of themes that reflect the happy-go-lucky outlook of many citizens of society and how it can be easily taken advantage of. Shriver also takes on the theme of motherhood, diving deep into the fear, struggles and moral dilemmas that come along with raising a child. The novel explores the evolution of evil and the aftermath of tragedy. Shriver focuses on the relative importance of innate characteristics and personal experiences in determining character and behaviour; the text is particularly concerned with the possibility that a mother’s ambivalence toward maternity may have influenced the development of evil within her son. Hierarchy is depicted throughout the novel, there is a constant fight within the family that the teenage son tries to stay on top of. This fight occurs mainly between the son and his mother, it is a fight for attention, power and control. This is representative of what fear uncertainty can do to a situation. Rationalisation for the son's behavior is one of the central themes of the story: when asked the simple question "Why?" after he shot and killed students and teachers at his school, he responds that he is “giving the public the excitement and scandal that they secretly crave”. Towards the end of the novel, for the first time the mother asks him “Why?” and to that he replies "I used to think I knew. Now I'm not so sure…”.

Mama wants to use the money to buy a house in a white neighborhood, because she thinks it is a better environment for her family than their current living conditions and will benefit her family. Although there are a number of people in A Raisin in the Sun who appear too want to help the Younger family, Mama shows through her decision to buy the house that she is the only person that is looking out for the best interests of her family.

There is a huge difference in the judgments that are made in the moral system and the behaviors and the character trait the characters possess. This play is mainly written because Ibsen feels angry that people suffer from repression and are deprived of joy. He is surely optimistic to break free of society and to having the courage to be yourself and mainly to have ‘livesklegn’ and factors like class and gender should not determine. Soren Kierkegaard is one that understands Ibsen, ‘Boredom is root of all evil-the despairing refusal to be oneself’, just like all his other quotes it summarize the things that mattered to Ibsen.
