What does Asagai suggest when he tells Beneatha that her profile resembles the Queen of the Nile more than a Hollywood Queen

Answer and Explanation:

Beneatha was an attractive college student who depicts a young, independent, feminist perspective. Moreover, her desire to become a doctor demonstrates her great ambition. Throughout the play, she searches for her identity.

She has an affair with two very different men: Joseph Asagai and George Murchison. Joseph Asagai has African roots, and George Murchison belongs to white culture.

She connects more with Asagai’s interest in rediscovering his African roots than with George’s interest in getting absorbed into white culture.

He helped her to rediscover her personality, which is more Nigerian than Caucasian.  He criticizes her for having straightened hair, which resembles Caucasian hair. He persuades her to cut her hair and keep a more natural, more African look. He criticizes her for having more independent thoughts, like never being married to anyone. Asagai suggests that Beneatha has more resemblance with the Queen of the Nile than a Hollywood Queen because he wants her to connect with the same culture from where he belonged.
