This play would be considered realistic. The people and situations in this play are universal. A reader can compare each person to someone they know or have observed in today's world. For example, Walter and Ruth are a couple who constantly fights. On page 34, Ruth says to Walter that "I listen to you every day, every night and every morning, and you never say anything new". I think that this is kind of funny because we can easily find a couple who gets annoyed since they are always around one another. Also, the play has a realistic struggles. The time period of this is during the Civil Rights Movement. Since it is focused around a black family, the struggles they face, such as moving into a new house and getting a job, are understandable. I mean there are some point where it is exaggerated or unreal. Like when Walter is drunk yelling an African word while Bennie dances in her African outfit on pages 78-79. Overall though, the play employs realistic qualities that the audience can either relate to or at least understand to a certain extent.
