The Piano Lesson #4

In the end of scene two, you finally learn who the ghosts of the yellow dog are and how Boy Willie and Berniece's dad trying to steal the piano. You also learn about how Berniece's husband dies. Because Berniece so strongly believes that it was Boy Willie's fault, this probably how she reasons that Boy Willie is the one pushing people down their well. This idea is helped by how Sutter's ghost seems to be calling for Boy Willie, and how Sutter conveniently died and allowed Boy Willie to be able to buy the land.

Commment on Haylee Winden's blog:
I also think that Berniece doesn't believe that people can change, which affects her trust in others. This could be harmful because she thinks that Boy Willie is pushing people down their wells, but what if he's innocent. Her bitterness clouds her judgement.
