Bobo

Bobo is another minor character in the play A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry. Despite the fact that this person is usually performed as a silly fellow, he appears to be a true and sincere friend that is capable of doing much more than people expect him to. Thus, when he comes to Walter in order to deliver unpleasant information about the money, he communicates with people in a polite way, trying not to cause additional harm with his words. 

As a matter of fact, Bobo is a great explanation to the fail of the business project developed by Walter. Being a good friend but a bad business partner and cannot think of a proper development direction by himself, always relying on Walter in every particular situation that demands some actions. As a result, their money is gone, and Bobo cannot find words to tell his business partner about the fail of the business plan. The social environment has a considerable influence on this person, making him suffer from more and more personal tragedies. Unfortunately, Bobo is not capable of escaping from this environment and continues to live his miserable life in the challenging ghetto neighborhood.
