Asagai

Asagai is probably different from the men that Berneatha has known throughout her life in Chicago. What do you think of Asagai? Do you think he and Berneatha could be boyfriend and girlfriend? What might stand in the way of their having a successful relationship?

  1. Asagai is an African man who went to school is Berneatha. That's how they met. Bennie (Berneatha) already has a boyfriend, but it seems to me like her and Asagai have a special relationship. The only thing standing in their way is Bennie's boyfriend.

  3. By the way the bond between Asagai and Bennie looks, it seems as though they may be compatible and have a strong relationship between one another. I'm guessing it's because they met in school and they've had plenty of time to become good friends and get to know each other. I think Asagai could be a loyal boyfriend to Bennie because he treats her differently and gives her a gift from home. However, because Beneatha has a boyfriend already, they can't exactly "get together"; not to mention her current boyfriend is fairly rich. In addition, because Asagai is from Nigeria, there's a possiblity that he could go back or something.

  4. I think that Asagi gets along more with Bernethea more than George Murchison does and I think that they could be in a great relationship but the think that stands in there way is the fact that she is already going out with George her rich boyfriend.

  5. I think Asagi is a nice person. Him and Berneatha could be boyfriend & girlfriend because he could help her see & get to her inner self and who she really is. I think nothing can really stand in the way of them having successful relationship besides George, the rich black boy that she goes on dates with but will never date him.

  6. Asagai is different from the other guys that Beneatha has met because he isn't from Chicago. Asagai is very nice because he gave Beneatha a gift from Nigeria. It was a robe that belonged to Asagai's sister. It could be possible that that Beneatha and Asagai could go out but Beneatha has a boyfriend and asagai would go back to africa.

  7. Asagai are friends since a while back then from school. Asagai is a african men, beneatha is sharing her life with asagai like about the money that her parents took and told asagai that and then said that if it was her money and if she had work as it. The one thing that is standing between them is that they would fight over any little thing.

  8. what i think about asagai is that he is really nice and i think that he likes Bernetha. I think that Asagai and Berneatha would be a cute couple, but one thing is in the way. Berneatha is in love with George, so there is a love triangle.

  9. Asagai is a kind boy. He is from Nigeria, Africa and comes back from Canada(where he was studying).He brings Beneatha a dress from Africa.I do think that they can be going out but what stands in the way of it is Walter. He is always complaining and doesn't seem to like his culture that much.

  10. I think Asagai is mature and serious and that he and Beneatha could be boyfriend and girlfriend. The other man, George Murchison, could stand in their way of having a succesful relationship.

  11. I think Asagai sounds like a nice guy. I think it was very nice of him to have brought the clothes and records from nigeria as a present for Berneathe. It sounds to me like they really like eachother and they could be a couple, but it might be difficult for them because of the different cultures.

  13. Asagai is a nice person and he really likes Berneatha and he’s simple and the guy that Berneatha is with rite now is rich and he also really like Berneatha but she doesn’t feel the same way for him. I think that they could be boyfriend and girlfriend because she likes him for him and he likes her for her, not because one of them is richer. Since she already has a boyfriend they cant just be boyfriend and girlfriend because Berneathas boyfriend is taking the relationship serious and he might be close to asking her to get married.

  14. I don't really like Asagai. I don't think that he and Berneatha could be boyfriend and girlfriend because they have different ideas on what a relationship should be like and the feelings between people. And I don't think he really takes her seriously either. He implied that the feeling he has for her, which I think is just that he likes her, should be enough, but Berneatha thinks there should be something more between two people who get married.

  15. Asagai seems nice and he brings her gifts but I don't think they'll become a couple. As far as things standing in the way... is their values but over all the two seem fond if each other.

  16. i believe asagai is a good guy, in the book it shows thst he does care about Bernetha. I dont know if they could be bf and gf because they both have different views on relationships.

  17. i think they will be a cute couple but i dont think that walter likes him he's a sweet guy and i think that walter should give him a chance he should not hate him just because of his culture but he seems really nice to berneatha. but the worse part is that she likes george so thats going to be a problem.

  18. Asagai Is Different From Othert Guys. I Think They Will Be Really Cute Together , But They Think Differently . I Don't Think They Would Last , If They Did Go Together. It Seems Like They Really Like Each Othert Though . I Think It Was Nice Of Asagai To Bring Her A Dress Back From Africa Though. I Think He Likes Her For Her Money And For Her. So I'm Kinda Not Sure If They Will Be together Or Not.

  19. Asagai is a man who is comfortable with his identity and heritage. He also likes to joke and have joy. Beneatha has trouble figuring out her own identity and she is very serious. He helps to lighten her moods and he helps her to figure out her identity.

  20. Im my onpinion asagai is a nice and well mannered person, but i don't think breneatha and him can be in a realashionship only beacuse they have very diffrent opinions in how a realshionship should be abd there don't really have anything in common. I also don't belive that he has deep feelings for her, but besides his & hers realashionship i think he's a very nice guy.

  21. I think that asagai and berneatha are somewhat opposites. Asagai likes to joke and he respects his culture. Berneatha is serious and doesn't really knows who she is. Someyimes opposites attract and sometimes one can't stand the other, so it is a possibility for them to be together. I think that they will go out but will have multiple arguments.

  22. i dont think it will work out because they have different ideas on what a relationship should be like and feelings between people. bernetha does like him but she doesnt feel that love that would make them be together. but they should give it a try and see how things work out because they both really do like each other no matter if one of them is poor and the other rich.
