"We don't want to make no trouble for nobody or fight no causes, and we will try to be good neighbors. And that's all we got to say about that. We don't want your money."
Although not evident in the beginning scenes, I think that Walter could be considered the protagonist of the story. At the beginning of the story, Walter is completely focused on his dream of owning a liquor store and using Mama's insurance money. Walter believes that money will solve all of their families problems. However, later on in the play, Walter begins to listen to Mama and Ruth. Mama and Ruth desire to buy a house for their family as a whole. Once Walter sees this, he begins to understand that buying a house for the family is better than becoming rich off of his store. In doing so, he turns down the money that Mr. Linder offers the family. To me, this was the point in the play in which Walter changed and proved to be the protagonist of the story.
