Sometimes swallowing your pride is neccessary for survival.
In the play the Younger's are a very proud family. Beneatha is going to college to be a doctor and mama is always saying how she's proud of her ancestors. She talks about how far they've came from being slaves and sharecroppers. Walter is too proud to admit that he's wrong sometimes. When Lindner offers the family money to not move into their home they do not accept it because they would be ruining their name. Walter invites Lindner back after he loses the money and is going to accept his offer. As he talks to Lindner he realizes what he's done. If he accepts this money it would be a disgrace because they're better than that! He tells Lindner about his family's history and how proud they are and ends up that day finding himself and becoming a man.
