Walter Lee Younger

Will Smith is a very skilled actor by this i mean he has the ability to act or perform different characters from comic to drama. I picked Will Smith because he has done a great job in many movies, specially in the pursuit of Hapyness, I strongly believe that he has all the emotional characteristics that best describe Walter Lee younger.

Walter Lee younger is a special character, he is 35 years old and is married to Ruth younger. this character has an insecure personality,  his dreams seem to be very large and unrealistic, a huge desire for luxurious materials and impulsiveness  is one of his virtues.

At the end of Act 2, Scene 2 Walter is having a conversation with his son about his plans.This

 important quote from the play is the perfect example that emphasis Walter's desire for money.

Walter: You wouldn’t understand yet, son, but your daddy’s gonna make a transaction . . . a business transaction that’s going to change our lives. . . . That’s how come one day when you ‘bout seventeen years old I’ll come home . . . I’ll pull the car up on the driveway . . . just a plain black Chrysler, I think, with white walls—no—black tires . . . the gardener will be clipping away at the hedges and he’ll say, “Good evening, Mr. Younger.” And I’ll say, “Hello, Jefferson, how are you this evening?” And I’ll go inside and Ruth will come downstairs and meet me at the door and we’ll kiss each other and she’ll take my arm and we’ll go up to your room to see you sitting on the floor with the catalogues of all the great schools in America around you. . . . All the great schools in the world! And—and I’ll say, all right son—it’s your seventeenth birthday, what is it you’ve decided? . . . Just tell me, what it is you want to be—and you’ll be it. . . . Whatever you want to be—Yessir! You just name it, son . . . and I hand you the world!
In this quote Walter lee Younger feel powerful and secure of himself because his mother had have given him the money to create the liquor store. In his Little tiny mind , Walter believes he can conquer anything and everything from day to night without even making sacrifices. his mind is full of fancy illusions that will lead him to lose whatever he has now.
