Mrs. Johnson makes a reference to the Youngers moving to Clybourne Park and then being bombed by holding up and imaginary newspaper headline. What does this tell the reader about her personality? Why does the author characterize her such as this?

Remainder of Question. What does this tell the reader about her personality? Why does the author characterize her such as this? Is she perhaps jealous that the Youngers are getting out of the south side ghetto and she'll have to stay? Explain your answers thoroughly. A Raisin In The Sun Packet Questions cite if needed

From the newspaper account, and the comments she makes, we can infer that Mrs. Johnson is a jealous woman, in addition to being the neighborhood gossip. Her words are unnecessarily cruel.... and above all else.... they're intentional.
