Which of these is a symbol to look for in raisin the sun?

The sun and the stars symbolize hope and a better future. The play's title, Raisin in the Sun, is taken from a line in a poem by Langston Hughes: "What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?" In the play, the sun represents the hope for a better life, while the stars represent the dreams that the characters are reaching for.
