Beneatha? Beneatha?!? What?


What the hell kind of name is this? What is she supposed to be beneath?





I asked the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

My take is that she thought the rest of the family was beneath her! She was better educated and was kind of "in your face" about it with her family, like many first generation college kids, black or white. A clever pun of a name

She thought her family was beneath her. The writer of the play said this about the original. It's on the trivia on the original's IMDb page.
