Raisin in the sun

In the first act of the book the idea that the characters are driven by dreams they have either had or have. The story reveals a lot about the characters dreams and will most likely continue to do so. The poem is describing what comes of dreams being unattainable and what the person who had those dreams will do after losing ability to achieve it. The play has already presented that most of the characters won’t get what they want due to limited money and limited economic mobility. I think the reason the poem was so heavily referenced in the play is because they both share the theme of losing an idea you believed to be reachable but in reality was not.
