Description
1. INTRODUCTION Throughout his career, Langton Hughes spoke of dreams. Without a doubt, Langton Hughes saw value in the image of the dream. In the poetry of Langton Hughes, the dream is one of the most frequently discussed concepts. To some extent, we can say that Langston Hughes was obsessed with dreams. One early and dearly loved poem urges listeners to "hold fast to dreams." Two of his books of poetry incorporated the word " dream" in their titles. His 1932 book aimed at young readers was The Dream Keeper, and his highly celebrated 1951 jazz volume was Montage of a Dream Deferred. Of the 879 poems in The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes, seventy-four make explicit reference to dreams. A number of the poem titles play with a variation on the word "dream," such as "Dream," "Dream Variations," "Dream Boogie," "Dream Boogie: Variation," " "The Dream Keeper," "Dream of Freedom," "I Dream a World," and "Montage of a Dream Deferred. In this article, we would like to analyze the significance of dreams and different categories of dreams of Langton Hughes.
