Task two ..something about the story

PLOT:
Just simply because it is very complicated. The story is about two siblings who fight for the piano, if sell it or not, but this piano is like a heirloom for one of them, because there is hidden a story of an ancestors of the family that posses it. During a hole story there is a fight about piano connected with a story of those ancestors and another little stories as Wining Boys chase after money and Boy Willies chase after Berenice to sell the piano. And of course the mysterious appation of Suter's ghost. That is briefly it, it is not much but story is a bit complicated and I think that this brief info can take you to the picture.

There are a few main characters who are involved in this drama, they are of a different personality. Except for a few "touchable" characters there are few who we know just from a stories and also one ghost.

CHARACTERS:

Berenice can be described as a strong person, she is female but it doesn't matter, she is very tough and doesn't too much care about people who doesn't mean anything for her. She is highly familial type, the idea of selling the piano which is her only memory of their ancestors is absolutely unimaginable for her. What concerns the relationship between her and Boy Willie, they are siblings and the same in a way of strong characters, but they both have different view of things and she thinks that her brother just talks and doesn't do anything.

Boy Willie is quite an interesting person, he is stubborn, goes for what he wants(sometimes over deads). He is a kind of a man who is somehow still a boy, he break the law a lot and he doesn't care about doing it. I find him  as a "man of action" if he wants to do someting or have something he goes for it (ex.make money). Description of Boy Willie made by author is: "Boy Willie is thirty years old. He has an infectious grin and a boyishness that is apt for his name. He is brash and impulsive, talkative and somewhat crude in speech and manner." (The Piano Lesson)

Doaker is an old man who somehow want to make peace between Boy Willie and Berenice, because he doesn't want them to fight because they are family. It is shown in a play that he wants Boy Willie to sell the piano for which they are arguing, but he doesn't want him to do it without Berenice's permission. He is the one who tells us a story about the ancestors of their family, the story of a piano. He likes both of the siblings but he is more with Boy Willie but will do nothing against Berenice.

Wining Boy is the last of a main characters in this play, he is Doaker's older brother and he is a kind of "piano chick"...he just drinks, gambles and play the old family piano. His life seem like he did not do anything, just those things all his life long. He just wants to make money so he could go and party for another while. 

Suter is one speculative character, he is not really in the play because he is a ghost, but I find him important for the context of the story. He was a man who had the piano at first, he changed it for two slaves who were ancestors of Berenice and Boy Willie, after some time they stole the piano from him but until now all of the characters can see the ghost somehow and they think that it is because of the piano in their house.

As obvious, all the characters are familly, all of them are kind of different and kind of same at one time. The main storyline is about the fight of Berenice and Boy Willie about the piano. I think that all of them like each other somehow, but it is difficult to find out. 

Of course those characters have the main "voice" in the story, because it is all abou them and theirs history and personalities. In my oppinion it was really good choice of author the all of the characters are somehow different, so we can see the story from different perspectives and it is interesting, there are not just boring dialogues between the same people but fights and excitement because they are different.

When talking about tension, I think it is about piano of course, I see it as a symbol, I understand while Berenice doesn't want to sell it. For her it is a piece of her past. So probably the piano is the most important thing in the story because it all runs around it all the time, it is always somehow connected.
