One possible theme of "A Raisin in the Sun" is that people often become frustrated after experiencing injustice.

The story follows the Youngers, an African-American family, in 1950s Chicago. Mr. Younger had died and the family is awaiting a $10,000 inheritance. The family members have different ideas of how to better their financial situation with the money, but the decision was ultimately made by Mama. Mama puts some of the money down on a house and decided to give the rest to Walter to invest in a liquor store as long as he promised to help Beneatha pay for her education to become a doctor.

The problem is that Walter gives the money to his acquaintances, who spend it all.  The family becomes upset about the loss of money, so when the neighborhood where Mama bought the house, which happens to be an all white neighborhood, offers money to avoid racial conflict, the family considers it. However, Mama says they cannot accept it essentially because   it would solidify the belief that people that are white are better than people that are black. Through these events the family experiences injustice and becomes frustrated with their lack of money and the racism in their society.

Read this excerpt from Ani's evaluation of Dan DeLuca's argument in his article "Dylan's Nobel Prize Settles Debate: Rock Lyrics
Afina-wow [57]

Ani says that Dan Deluca wrote an article that contradicts his stance of the Nobel being well deserved at times, the two sentences of said article that show this kind of contradiction are:

Many of Dylan’s most fervently loved songs—some of which actually are love songs—date from the 1960s, and his being honored at age 75 can be seen as an ultimate affirmation for the baby boomer generation.

and

And it’s a good thing [his lyrics] have been published, because if you’ve gone to see the famously sneering and syllable-garbling Dylan play live in recent years, you probably couldn’t understand a word he was singing.

this is because they say that the Nobel might be a product of simple nostalgia and they undermine Dylan as an artist, plus these seem to not be quotes from detractors but something Dan DeLuca is saying himself
