Jade Yorker (Joseph Asagai)

I am going to cast Jade Yorker as Joseph Asagai. I have chosen this actor to play as Asagai because his physical appearance indicates the play's description of this character. Joseph Asagai is a dramatic looking young man from Nigeria, whose tribal of origin is Yoruba (p.1051/2). One of his desires is to have a relationship with Beneatha. He wants to go back to Nigeria with her and become a society fixer by changing the system and allowing a new government to come to place. In this way, poor Nigerian people would have access to education and clean water. Asagai is an idealist because he wants a perfect society. He hopes that his action will result for the best and believes that he could change the world for the better. However, Asagai is also a practical person because he knows that his people could try to kill him or that he could be thrown in prison. When Beneatha was feeling upset because Walter lost her school money, Asagai was practical in telling her that she didn't have the money in the first place because she didn't work for it (p.1071).
