What is Asagai's nickname
for Beneatha, what does it
mean, and why is it
appropriate?
C 400
Aliyao. It means "One for
Whom Bread - Food - Is Not
Enough." It is appropriate
because he as well as Beneatha
and Walter want more from life
than just survival. They want a
better quality of life.
C 400
Why didn't Beneatha want to
be a doctor anymore
C 500
She used to think that fixing
people's ailments was the best
thing to do. Now she thinks
that physical ailments aren't
the problem of society.
People's hearts aren't true.
She gives up on the human
race and calls them "puny,
small, and selfish." She sees
no human battle worth
fighting.
C 500
Who states the quote and
what is the significance:
“Man say to his woman: I got
me a dream. His woman say:
Eat your eggs”
D 100
Walter …He has been telling Ruth
about his dream and she tells him to
eat his eggs. He wants to talk and
dream of a better life; she wants him
to face reality and deal with his
present world. This makes him
frustrated, makes him feel like she
doesn't support him.
D 100
Who states the quote and
what is the significance:
“Once upon a time freedom used
to be life--now it's money”
D 200
Mama…expresses how
Walter’s actions show how
values have changed for the
worse over time. The
American dream was about
freedom before not just
money.
D 200
Who states the quote and
what is the significance:
“Here I am a giant--surrounded
by ants! Ants who can't even
understand what it is the giant is
talking about”
D 300
Walter…he is complaining
because nobody understands
him. He has big dreams in
comparison to everybody else
…
D 300
Who states the quote and
what is the significance:
“Sometimes it is hard to let the
future begin”
D 400
Walter…just before he lets
Bobo in the house because he
is excited to hear the news
about the liquor store. The
store represents the start of
his prosperous future.
D 400
Who states the quote and what is
the significance: “What you just
said--about the circle. It isn't a
circle--it is simply a long line--as
in geometry, you know, one that
reaches into infinity. And because
we cannot see the end--we also
cannot see how it changes. And it
is very odd but those who see the
changes are called "idealists"--and
those who cannot, or refuse to
think, they are the "realists."
D 500
Asagai…talking to Beneatha
about life after she states she
no longer wants to be a
doctor.
D 500
Lena’s plant
E 100
Mama’s plant represents both
Mama’s care and her dream
for her family. Her care for
her plant is similar to her care
for her children,
unconditional and unending
despite a less-than-perfect
environment for growth.
E 100
The money from the
insurance policy
E 200
Money represents each
character’s search for a better
way of life;
the past, present, and future
of the Younger family.
E 200
Beneatha’s Hair
E 300
Her new, radical afro
represents her embracing of
her heritage. Beneatha’s
cutting of her hair is a very
powerful social statement.
She symbolically declares
that natural is beautiful.
Beneatha’s new hair is a
symbol of her antiassimilationist beliefs
E 300
Mr. Linder
E 400
The character of Mr. Lindner
makes the theme of racial
discrimination prominent. His
character symbolizes what
threatens to tear apart the Younger
family and the values for which it
stands. Ultimately, the Youngers
respond to this discrimination with
defiance and strength. The play
powerfully demonstrates that the
way to deal with discrimination is
to stand up to it and reassert one’s
dignity in the face of it rather than
allow it to pass unchecked.
E 400
Kitchen Window
E 500
This small window, which
provides the only natural light
coming into the apartment,
represents the Younger
family's hope for a brighter
future.
