Put it all together, and you can say that the piano represents slavery itself. So, this piano was literally bought with the flesh and blood of the Charles family. Robert Sutter exchanged Boy Willie and Berniece's great grandmother and grandfather for the piano. It originally came into the lives of the Charles family when they were still enslaved by the Sutters. Early on in its history, the piano represented pretty much all that was messed up about slavery.
