I think that Ruth is acting like Walter and Beneatha's mother. she has to work, cook, clean and their immature actions are just making her tired and stressing her out. She has to work to provide for the house and it's just making Ruth a dull person because of the way they are towards her.

I agree with you Mary , Ruth is reacting the way she is because Walter and Beneatha are being immature and Ruth is just fed up with all of this.

I think that their behavior has cause Ruth to age much faster than she normally have and it has cause her to be very unhappy. I think she deals with their actions by ignoring them for the most part. She doesn't really make them do anything or accept responsibility and I think it's because she doesn't want to fight with them so she just does everything without them.

I believe Ruth's actions are the way they are cause shes stressed from her having to take care of everything on her own and she's dull cause she has two adults that live with her that act immature everyday .
