In Act II, Scene 2, Mama puts Walter in charge of all of the money. Why do you think that she does that?

I believe that Mama puts Walter in charge of all the money for a lot of different reasons. One of them being that Walter is the main character that wants to show everyone his manhood. Also, Mama thinks that giving Walter the money will allow Walter to feel in charge at least once. Another thing, she may want to show Walter that she respects him as the man of the house. Mama trusted Walter as well. She raised Walter so she thought that he would do the right thing with the money. Hopefully, even though Walter broke Mama's trust, he could repair his trust with Mama.
