The Piano Lesson #3

In Act One, there is a great deal of singing. It seems that the singing and music brings everyone together, especially when they all know the song. When they join together singing, it gives a sense of closeness about them. The music also connects to the piano. The piano, in its own way, is significant to both their family and the Sutter family. The piano is covered in carvings of the history of the family of Boy Willie, carved by his own grandfather. It was also played by Mrs. Sutter up until she died. It holds a significance to both families.

I thought that phrase was interesting, too, and Boy Willie does seem to be undermining Berniece a lot. But, I think that maybe Boy WIllie might be accusing Berniece like that because maybe Berniece has believed in convenient things before. Although we learned much of their history, I think that there is more to their history than we know.
