Theme of Deception:
Much of this play’s comedy comes from the trickery played by various characters. The most important deceits come from Tony, including his lie about Hardcastle’s home and his scheme of driving his mother and Constance around in circles. However, deceit also touches to the center of the play’s more major themes. In a sense, the only reason anyone learns anything about their deep assumptions about class and behavior is because they are duped into seeing characters in different ways. This truth is most clear with Marlow and his shifting perspective on Kate, but it also is true for the Hardcastles and Sir Charles, who are able to see the contradictions in others because of what trickery engenders

(i) Metaphor: the people's eyes are as cold as ice. This means that there is no warmth or real feeling in the words that they say, or how they behave. This metaphor literally allows you to visualise a block of ice, cold and unwelcoming.
(ii) Simile: stanza 4, line 20-21 emphasises the constant changes in the personae's face. If u think of how often a woman changes her dress, then that is how the personae adjusts his/her personality to suit an audience. The list of faces that follow this line emphasis this point. Stanza 6, lines 38-40 compares the personae's faces in a portrait. If u think of a snake words such as sneaky and deceitful come to mind. Therefore, the implication is that the personae is fake, just like the people he addresses
(iii) Repetition: This phrase is repeated at beginning and the end of the poem. This usually signals of a fairy tale. Therefore, it is implied that the personae is nostalgic about the past.

it is a truism that hansberry uses mr. Linder's character to portray racial discrimination.
The caretakers of the younger's new neighbourhood use mr. Linder to prevent the family from relocating to their new house. This is because the neighbourhood is all-white residence, and for color reasons, mr. Linder is used by the clybrourne park improvement association to bribe the younget's family which threatens to tear then apart and the value for which it stands.
By younger's family responding to such racial discrimination with defiance,demonstrates that the best way to fight racisim is open resistance against it. In the light of the above, racism must abhorred by everybody. Conversely, we should show erual love to one another irrespective of tribes,color and religious afiliations.
