Whether she wants to be an assimilationist
Asagai's nickname, "Asagai," is fitting because it represents his Nigerian heritage and cultural identity, reflecting his pride in his roots. The name symbolizes his connection to African traditions and his desire to embrace and celebrate his culture, contrasting with the experiences of the Younger family, who grapple with their own identity in America. Additionally, Asagai’s character serves as a catalyst for Beneatha’s exploration of her own identity, encouraging her to reconnect with her African heritage.
