Beneatha Younger

She is about twenty, as slim and intense as her brother Walter. She is not as pretty as her sister-in-law, but her lean, almost intellectual face has a handsomeness of its own. She wears a bright red flannel nightie, and her thick hair stands wildly about her head. Her speech is a mixture of many things; it is different from the rest of the family insofar as education has permeated her sense of English. She is in college. Her motivations are to cure people and to find her identity in order to do so she cut her hair. Her confidence, her sarcastic personality and her superior attitude are what make her unique. Her confidence was so strong that one time she told to her whole family that “I am going to be a doctor and everybody around here better understand that.” I picked Onika Tanya Maraj or as many know her for her stage name Nicki Minaj to play the role of Beneatha Younger due to their ambition towards success and the willing to do anything it takes to get to where they want to be and for the fact that they both have a great confidence which is not found in many people.
