Question

What best explains why the character Asagai is a symbol for heritage?

a.He discovers the importance of Africa over the course of the play.

b.He sees no merits in America.

c.He sparks Beneatha's interest in Africa.

d.He wears his hair naturally.

Answer 1

c.He sparks Beneatha's interest in Africa.

Answer 2

c. He sparks Beneatha's interest in Africa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Asagai is one of Beneatha's suitors. He comes from Nigeria, and therefore, is able to provide a different perspective on the experiences of black people. He lightly criticizes Beneatha's acceptance of white dominance, and this sparks in her a new understanding of her heritage. It is implied that she will marry Asagai and move back to Nigeria with him.
