But Baines can immediately hear every part of who Ada is in her playing and he does not want to relinquish that. But because she is not listened to, Ada must get the help of another man, Baines in order to get the piano back. He only wants his new wife to do as he asks her to do. And Stewart leaving her piano on the shore symbolizes that he will not know how to speak to her as her voice is in her music and he doesn’t understand nor empathize with that. The physical change in environment from her father’s home to Stewart’s home is the beginning of her journey to discovering her voice. The journey to get to this point was one that demanded a great price and distance to be crossed. By the end of the film, we see that she has taken on the disciplines necessary to begin to learn how to speak. But she is a master pianist and plays with nearly every waking hour. In the opening of the story, we learn that Ada hasn’t spoken since she was six, and even she does not know why. This film is about the ability to have a voice.
