The mood in Act II, Scene III, is celebratory before Mr. Linder's arrival. Walter is dancing with his wife, and Beneatha is joking around. The mood changes when Mr. Linder switches from the welcoming committee into the warning committee. Walter then kicks the man out.... the atmosphere is tense and angry.
