Karl Lindner was in A Raisin in the Sun. Who was he?
The Lindner character is still developed by Hansberry as a human being and not just a stereotype of a bigot.Mr. Lindner is shy and timid when he arrives at the Younger household.Even though everything he says is offensive to the Youngers, he is polite and mannerly.It is obvious to us that Mr. Lindner doesn't know what he's saying to them.He is a messenger from the Clybourne Park neighborhood who is sending a message to the Youngers that he did not originate.He naively believes in the correctness of the organization he represents.We don't think that Lindner is filled with hatred that would cause him to insult the Youngers or hurt them.Lindner doesn't know the full scope of his mission.He firmly believes that he is doing the Youngers a favor by offering to pay them not to move into Clybourne Park.Lindner was surprised when he first entered their apartment, but the Youngers were kind to him.When they offer Lindner refreshments, he declines because he knows that the Youngers are decent people, which makes his mission uncomfortable for him.Lindner appeared almost pathetic as he tried to explain his point of view to Beneatha, Walter, and Ruth.
