Your analysis of the play in relation to their thirst for success as I like to call it is very much conncected to the poem of Langston Hughes as their dreams were becoming a burden, but the answer was not in finding the money it was in losing the money that brought their deferred dream into reality. Poverty is the burden on the surface but I believe the ultimate burden is the division within the family that needed to be healed as the family was becoming disconnected as Walter withdrew, and that was not cured as the money only added more pressure to him. It was when all was lost that he finally began to come around as an individual and realize what was really important to him and it was then that the dream of happiness was a reality.
