What does Beneatha seem to be looking for in a man in A Raisin in the Sun?

seems to
be looking for a man who can give her a sense of security and self-worth. Both of these
qualities have been notable in their absence from Beneatha's life since her brothersquandered
their late father's insurance money. Some of that money was going to be used to put Beneatha
through medical school. Now that those plans have gone up in smoke, Beneatha instinctively looks
for a man to provide her with the kind of respect she thinks she deserves. As a self-regarding,
somewhat-haughty individual, Beneatha needs a man who will put her on a pedestal.

Enter Asagai. He holds out to Beneatha the tempting prospect of a new life in Africa
where Beneatha will be treated with respect and courtesy by the people of Asagai's village.
Although Beneatha would be moving down in the world in one respect, the prospect of being a big
fish in a very small pond appeals to her greatly. It seems that in Asagai, she's finally found a
man who gets herwho understands her hopes, dreams, and aspirations.
