Beneatha Younger is a twenty something year old medical student who is slim and attractive but not quite acctractive as Ruth once was. Beneatha reminds me of Tyra Banks character in "Higher Learning". They are both attractive, slim, in their twenties and intelligent. Tyra Banks plays a character who received a full scholarship and is also very intelligent. Beneatha is quick witted and loves to show her college educated vocabulary, "Because I hate assimilationists!" she quips as George is acting like an "Uncle Tom". Beneatha wants to learn about everything and anything and remains very independent when it comes to men. She is very confident in who she is and who she will become. Tyra is also a very independent, confident woman and would be perfect for the part of Beneatha Younger.
