Character study (Dasha, Cole, John)

1. Beneatha
2. Bennie, sister
3. 20 years old
4. Slim and intense like her brother; Not as pretty as Ruth; Has lean and almost intellectual face; Thick hair 
5. Her steps are very heavy at times when she is mad, but most of the time her walk is very light as she is still very young
6. Her speech is a mixture of many things; It's different from the rest of the family’s insofar as education has permeated her sense of English—and perhaps the Midwest rather than the South has finally—at last—won out in her inflection; but not altogether, because over all of it is a soft slurring and transformed use of vowels which is the decided influence of the Southside.
7. 
8. Has a good relationship with Mama (mother); Neutral with Ruth and Travis; Some type of tension in her relationship with brother; She is not that close with the family members as they are very different
9. She always argues with Walter (mostly about her education and the money); argued with Mama because of religion
10. She sleeps with Mama in her bedroom
11. She goes to school
12. She does not contribute much to the family 
13. Stubborn, determined, immature, strong
14. Frustrated, annoyed, sad, satisfied
15. Argues for fun with Walter Lee (s1), gets slapped by Mama for questioning Christianity (s1), talks with Asagai (s2)
16. 1) That money belongs to Mama, Walter, and it’s for her to decide how she wants to use it. I don’t care if she wants to buy a house or a rocket ship or just nail it up somewhere and look at it. It’s hers. Not ours—hers
    2) The only people in the world who are more snobbish than rich white people are rich colored people
    3) It’s all a matter of ideas, and God is just one idea I don’t accept. It’s not important. I am not 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 the things the human race achieves through its own stubborn effort. There simply is no blasted God—there is only man and it is he who makes miracles!
    1)  I can’t imagine that it would hurt him—it has never hurt the roaches
    2) You never understood that there is more than one kind of feeling which can exist between a man and a woman—or, at least, there should be
    3)  I’m not interested in being someone’s little episode in America
