The Piano Lesson Journal 7

I thought this section of the play was particularly intriguing due to Lymon and Bernieces apparent mutual attraction. Avery has already asked Berniece to marry him however I think she declined in a sheepish manner as to not offend him. If that is true and they don't get married I wonder if her and Lymon will get married. I believe that would significantly change the character dynamics. First of all I would think Berniece might more quickly forgive Boy Willie seeing as how Lymon was there also. But then that leads me to another thing, why does she only blame Boy Willie and not blame Lymon equally?

I think either Lymon will get in a relationship with Grace, girl he "didnt have a chance to get to", or Berniece. I agree that the tone has changed to a different tone and seems like the entire play is focused on relationships.
