What does the sun represent in A raisin in the Sun?

Answer 1

the sun represents a sun. But the title A Raisin in the sun is actually a poem. By Langston Hughes

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up

Like a raisin in the sun?

or fester like a sore-

And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?

Or crust and sugar over-

Like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

-Langston Hughes, "Harlem"

well that's where the title comes from.

need any more help just ask me.
