Asagai, is my favorite character. He is one of Beneatha's fellow students. He seems to be completely in love with Beneatha. Asagai is also from Nigeria, so I feel that he provides and international perspective for the rest of the characters. He is also very proud of his African heritage. Asagai criticizes Beneatha, but only out of desire to help her full-filling her dreams with going to medical school. Beneatha thought of going to medical school after she witnessed a horrible sledding accident. Asagai seems to criticize just about every little detail about Beneatha, including her independent views of herself and that she does not have enough strength. Asagai just wants the best for Beneatha and is looking out for her.
