Beneatha is despondent. She is depressed. Asagai has
dropped in to check on the moving and all that Beneatha can say is "He gave away the
money." She is talking with Asagai.
Walter has just
learned that the 6,500 dollars that he put down for the liquor store has been stolen.
Willy Harris has run away with all the money.
Beneatha has
lost her will to get up and move. She doesn't appear to be furious with her brother; her
mood is solemn and somber. She appears to be in shock. She cannot believe that Walter
has lost all of Mama's money.
In Act three, Scene one,
Beneatha comments to Asagai that Walter trusted a man who even Travis would not have
trusted:
He
[Walter] made an investment! With a man even Travis wouldn't have trusted with his most
worn-out marbles."
