In "A Raisin in the Sun", why does the author go to such lengths to describe the furnishings of the Younger family's apartment?

Hansberry gives a vivid, extensive
description
of the Youngers' apartment on the South Side of Chicago, which represents the

family's struggles. The furniture in the Youngers' apartment is worn out and old, and
Hansberry
writes that the primary feature of the apartment is that it is too
small to accommodate that
many people. Hansberry uses words like "weariness"
and "depressing" to
describe the apartment's features, which correspond to
the emotions and feelings of the Younger
family.

There is
also very little natural light and virtually no privacy in
the cramped
apartment. The Youngers' worn out apartment creates anof restriction, tension,
and
stress. The family is sick of living in close quarters and is anxious to
improve their living
situation, which explains the attitudes and behaviors of
each character.is weary, and her
husband is anxious to use the $10,000
insurance check to establish his liquor business, which he
hopes will improve
the family's financial status.also wishes for her family to live in a

comfortable, accommodating home, which is why she purchases the house in Clybourne
Park.
Overall, Hansberry's extensive description of the Youngers' tiny
apartment furthers the
portrayal of their suppressed, tired emotions and of
the motivation Lena has to purchase a new
home.
