The Piano Lesson by August Wilson (Journal Entry 7)
In the continuation of Act 2 of the book, we see more action from Lymon who is sometimes a dormant character in the play. Lymon does act up to Bernice, but the author makes sure that the scene has a sense of control in it. In other words, Lymon only shows a prominent interest in Bernice for the moment. Based on this scene, I foreshadow that Avery and Lymon might have disputes over Bernice. Avery had just recently pressured Bernice to be his companion, of some sort. To me, Lymon seems to be picking up some affairs along with his relations with Boy Willie.
Comment on Joshua Zheng’s Blog:
I agree. Lymon, does have some affairs with Bernice. This can foreshadow how Avery’s and Lymon’s relate as far as thing are going in the book. Yes; Lymon’s behavior becomes somewhat questionable at one point, but does not go too extreme.
