Why do you think Hansberry includes Beneatha's relationships with
Asagai and George and her journey to learn more about her heritage?
How do they affect the rest of the family? What would be lost if
Hansberry decided not to include them?

Respuesta :

Beneatha's relationship with Asagai and George reinforces the two strands of African-American positioning about American culture. This affects the way Beneatha sees herself and sets up a very important social discussion in the family context that would be lost if Asagai and George were not included.

How important are Asagai and George?

  • Asagai is a Nig3.rian, he doesn't have many economic resources and he recognizes that he is looked down upon by American society.
  • This makes him very attached to his origins, as he will never be completely accepted by American society.
  • However, he knows that recognition as a Nig3.rian and attachment to his African origin will strengthen him.
  • George, on the other hand, has many economic resources and believes that this is enough for him to be accepted in American society.
  • George is an African-American, but he is not attached to his roots, feels part of society, and wants to be more and more involved with the white population.

Asagai's attachment to black culture and George's attempt to insert himself into white culture creates a very important social discussion that would be lost if these two characters were ignored.

This is because these two characters reinforce themes such as ancestry, nationality, economy, and experiences.
