Cora Unashamed

Poems by Langston Hughes II (Dream Deferred)

Question 1: In the eyes of the Black community, Cora should be "ashamed" to have a child out of wedlock. Discuss why she ignores societal conventions - how does her dismissal of what is "right and proper'' lead her to defend and love Jessie?

Question 2: Discuss the attitude of the Students toward their daughter Jessie - do they see and treat both Cora and Jessie as 'lesser' individuals in their white, middle-class lives?

Question 3: Discuss Cora's reaction to the 'grief' exhibited at Jessie's funeral - does she remain silent "Like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore--And then run?" as she is expected to a servant in the Studevant household? Or does she explode because of the deferred dreams for herself and Jessie?
