While Beneatha is a confident and independent young woman, Laura is rather shy and timid. In seeing these different mindsets, one is able to more fully realize how Beneatha and Laura represent the mindsets that women might have had during the 1930s and 1950s. With the character of Laura being set in the Depression era, and the character of Beneatha being set in the Pre-Civil Rights era, it’s clearly shown that as time passed in American history, the number of motivations and desires of women increased, along with a newly found drive to be something more than a housewife. The overall timid nature of Laura as opposed to the determined and confident personality of Beneatha dramatically shows how over time the way women were motivated and thought in America changed dramatically from the early 1930s to the late

Oksana starts her story by telling how she worked as a trench digger in the war in 1941. “She later became the chief statistical inspector of Tchkalovsky Rayon, near Gorky” (55). She met her husband in 1945, he died soon after in 1949, but they had a daughter in between that time and she never had the desire to get married again. To Oksana she was not poor in the time that she lived with her parents and then with her husband she says, “We were not making enough to feel secure” (56) financially. She now hated her life because she had no job because she didn't have the money for new documents and without them you don't work. Before the war she was happy with her life as it was after the war everything went downhill. “Would you describe your self as poor now? Absolutely. I have no housing. I cant get my passport exchanged so I cant get a job” (56). She couldn't deal with the hand that was dealt to her and she believes it was destiny. “Why are you poor? I don't know. Maybe we did something wrong at some point.” (57) If we leave all the choices in life to destiny then nothing will get done and we will always be stuck in one spot. “So why are some people poor and others rich? Because there is no justice in the world” (58). I agree with her answer but only for certain things does it apply. After interviewing Oksana, Vollmann asks to interview her family.

There were three major “waves” of feminist action that took place in the 1900’s. The most recent and most closely resembling the film is the “third wave” taking place in the early 1990’s. The “third wave” feminist mainly focused on micro politics but also sought after negotiating a space within feminist thought for deliberation of race-related subjectivities. In the film, a woman was brutally beaten by a man for laughing at his small penis. The girl’s friends found out what happened and sought to acquire revenge on the two men that committed this hurtful crime. The gang of vengeful women manage to scavenge one thousand dollars of their own savings as a reward for anyone who kills the two men. The gang of women acts as the feminist movement in the 1990’s but there is

"The construction of Manchevski's story is intended to demonstrate the futility of ancient hatreds. There are a few moments in the film in which hatred of others is greater than love of one's own.
