Document Summary

Throughout seven guitars the many characters choose to make multiple different decisions, for numerous different reasons. There is louise, who looks down on hedley"s decision to not go to the sanitarium and most other things hedley does. When we properly meet vera, she is mad at floyd"s decision to flee to chicago with another woman and then return like everything can go back to normal. Then there"s canewell, who (at least initially) disproves of floyd"s decision to try and drag him back to chicago after he was screwed over with the first record he helped him make. Additionally, there are many themes and references to black oppression throughout the play that would be easy to overlook if you were not actively paying attention to the tone wilson has set up for us. The first time we meet floyd schoolboy barton, when he is alive, we learn some very ugly truths about him.
