How does Hughes characterize the speaker in "Dream Variations"?
The speaker is portrayed as someone who lives a
carefree and light-hearted existence.
He portrays him as a man who lives in a dream state
and refuses to see reality.
He portrays him as a man who wishes he could
freely express himself and rest safely.
The speaker is portrayed as a man who loves to
dance until he is exhausted.

The speaker is Black, and dreams of being free of the strictures and segregation of an oppressive society—of living a life of freedom and self-expression. Importantly, too, the speaker is an artist: in his “dream,” he imagines getting through the “white day” by dancing.
