This project is based on two plays, Trifles and A Raisin in the Sun, and how a new set of actors are going to be cast to play each of the characters in the plays. The plays vary tremendously in nature and the world they bring in for the audience and hence, their characters differ too. Trifles, written in 96, narrates a tale of two women, how they scrutinize the life of another woman and discover harsh realities about the life she was leading, with a case of murder being the backdrop. A Raisin in the Sun is a play about a black familys daily functionality and the dreams of the characters. Set in Chicago in 957, it portrays the struggles black people had to endure whenever they dared to step up and out of the box. I, hereby, would cast current working actors to the characters of the aforementioned plays as we shall proceed further in this paper. The characters in Trifles are a County Attorney named George Henderson, a
Sheriff named Henry Peters, a farmer named Lewis Hale, and the wives of the Sheriff and the farmer referred as Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale throughout the play. County Attorney George Henderson and Sheriff Henry PetersΒ legal positions and characters are distinct but in the play they basically work as two alter egos of the same individual. They are for all intents and purposes indistinct from each other, aside from their expert qualifications, since they treat the ladies in a similar way and possess a similar overly fixated point of view, strongly persuaded of their own significance and aptitude while the ladies illuminate the mystery directly underneath their noses. Mr. Hale, however, is portrayed differently than the other two male characters of the play as by profession, he holds a lower status than the others and hence, expresses a feeling of obligation to abide by their orders without raising a voice of his own.
