A Raisin in the Sun
Hansberry gently integrates comedy into this play. For what purpose?

Answer: Maybe since a lot of people like comedy they added that in (like maybe to engage the reader) ? But like the other person said the play is showing what some families had to face as a reality back in the 1950's and again like they said the author, Lorraine Hansberry, just decided to add it in.

Hope this helped!

Answer: A Raisin in the Sun is essentially about dreams, as the main characters struggle to deal with the oppressive circumstances that rule their lives. The title of the play references a conjecture that Langston Hughes famously posed in a poem he wrote about dreams that were forgotten or put off.
