What type of character do you think Beneatha is?Please give examples.

I think that Beneatha is a very modern character.  She
embodies the idea the freedom is something that is diverse and eclectic, and represents
this through her different passions and temperaments.  She is committed to her freedom
and independence and lacks any hesitation to express it.  I think that this is also
where her modernity is revealed in that she doesn't quite get the fact that modern, in
its own intrinsic condition, is not superior.  When she is put in her place by the
elders of the family, it is representative of the fact that while she does have freedom,
she also grasps that there is much for her to learn.  Finally, I think that she is
modern because she understands the different hurdles that she must overcome in her
experience of being an economically challenged woman of color.
