Walter is a brave character in the novel, A Raisin in the Sun. He does
not sit around nor does he wait for things to happen to him. He takes
action and does what he need to get done. One example is his
determination to open a liquor store. Zeus can be used as an allution.
He holds great power and does what he wants. For example, he can
confine them to the earth and deny their immortality. Zeus and Walter
in a context are both worthy, noble, and have inner strength.

I see where you’re coming from but compares Walter Younger from the
play, A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry to Zeus is a little
far fetched. Zeus is the "Father of Gods and men”, who ruled the
Olympians of Mount Olympus. In Greek mythology he was the god of sky
and thunder. Comparing this noble, brave God to Walter Younger a Limo
Driver, who put his dreams before his family says a lot. Walter was
selfish and took the 3,500 dollars that Mama gave to him, which was
for him and Beneatha (his sister) and lost it forever because he
trusted his suppose ably friend, Willy. The belief of Willy bring the
money to Springfield, was quickly denied when Willy didn’t meet Bobo
to go get the license for the Liquor store. This showed me that
Walter has bad judgment of individuals and should not be trusted with
money. He could have used the money for his family or saved it for a
rainy
day.
