ASAGAI Was it your money he gave away? BENEATHA It belonged to all of us. ASAGAI But did you earn it? Would you have had it at all if your father had not died?

Your brother made a mistake and you are grateful to him so that now you can give up the ailing human race on account of it! You talk about what good is struggle, what good is anything! Where are we all going and why are we bothering!
