Lorraine Hansberry was an African American playwright of the 1950s. This famous play was first dramatized in 1959 and created a new place for the Afro American Authors in the literary world. The play won Lorraine a Drama Circle Critics Choice Award and made her a renowned writer. The title of the play came from a poem by ‘Langston Hughes' called ‘Harlem.' The poem contains a verse that goes like this: "What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?" (Lewis, 2012). The poem also showcased the frustration and resentment born among the black people because of ‘deferred' dreams. It shows that this happened due to the discrimination practiced against them. Similarly the play's title symbolizes unfulfilled dreams of the Younger family. Just like the raisin dries up in the sun, the scorching sun of the era's conditions has dried up, shriveled or shrunk the Younger family's hopes of success and a better future.
