... Does it dry up; like a raisin in the sun”? ... In the drama “A Raisin in the Sun”, we find out how a dream can be deferred. ...
Lorraine Hansberry, author of “A Raisin in the Sun”, refers to part of Langston Hughes’ poem as a way to describe the turn out of the drama and to create a title for it too. ... Hansberry wrote this drama during the time that the Civil Rights Movement occurred back in the 1960’s. Lorraine Hansberry was born in Chicago on May 19, 1930. ... When Hansberry was a child, she and her family lived in an entirely black neighborhood on Chicagos South Side. ... Hansberrys family became one of the first to move into a white neighborhood, but Hansberry still attended a segregated public school for blacks. ... This didn’t stop the Younger family because eventually they moved there anyways just like Hansberry’s family did. ...
If you trace back to the poem by Langston Hughes when he says, “Does it dry up; like a raisin in the sun?”, you can compare it to the play as most of their dreams did dry up like a raisin in the sun.
