He is somewhat similar to a father, remembering the struggles of the past and what he went through, and trying to be thankful for what he currently has. Much like any parent would want for their children, he wants his country to succeed and flourish and not have to go through what he went through. He wants nothing but the best for his kids (home country).

Joseph is a wise mature old man in a young persons body. Asagai can be seen as part of an "Older Generation," he was not actually born in the new world but struggled in his home country and then traveled to the new world. He still remembers the struggle he went through early in life and is grateful for what he has, as opposed to people who were born in the new world, who did not have to struggle as much. This makes him more humble for what he has also more wise and mature.

Joseph Assagai is like a mentor. He just wants to help everyone in any way he can, like a mentor would. He is very attached to his home heritage in Africa, he understands what it is like to live in a third world country and he wants to help.  He also helps  Beneatha  discover her heritage, by giving her gifts like traditional Nigerian robes from home. He helps her find herself. He is a helping hand when you need one, much like a mentor.

Assagai is like a therapist. When Beneatha is ranting about Walter and how he lost her money and her future. She says that he threw away her future. Assagai almost immediately reassures her that there is more to life, other "pathways" to what she wants. He explains to her that her dreams and goals are reachable even they aren't with the help of the money.

Assagai is a fisherman. He is "casting" himself into America, to reel in (bring back) a doctor to bring back to his country to help him. He wants to bring back her back to his people and also to be his wife. This catch would be a two in one if he succeeds. He has two main dreams, to help his people in every way he can and to marry a woman like Beneatha.

Joseph is like a lion, very ambitious, very leading, very helpful, he wants to help his "pride." He is willing to keep his home town's people stable and healthy, he wants everything for them, but much like a lion he needs a wife, Assagai wants Beneatha to marry him and move to his country so that they can help his people.

Joseph is just like a Martin Luther King. Assagai talks about how the population has to put up with gun violence, revolution, disease and the effects of colonialism on a daily basis. He says how you should "never give up on fighting for the greater good". Much like Martin Luther King, they shared a similar goal, they wanted to help people.
