Beneatha Younger

Beneatha Younger is a extravagant, immature and revolving character in the raising in the sun, she is in her twenties, her body type is described as slim and she is not as beautiful as her sister in law. Megan Good is an American actress, the photo above was taken when she was in her early twenties, her physical appearance well-portrayed Beneatha's image. Megan Good participation in the movie You got served  convinced me that she was the perfect person to play Beneatha's role.
Beneatha is a character full of life and energy, a college student who is in search of  her identity, her way of finding it is by going back to her African roots and informing herself about facts. she also develops a sense of a independent feminine perspective in which she feels free of speaking her mind without realizing the norms of home.
For example, in Act1/scene 1 Beneatha is discussing with her mother about God.
Beneatha: Mama, you don't understand. It's all a matter of ideas, and God is just one idea I don't accept. It's not important. I am going out and be immoral or commit crimes because I don't believe in God. I don't even think about it. It's just that I get tired of Him getting credit for all things the human race achieves through its own stubborn effort. There simply is no blasted God-There is one man and it is he who make miracle!
