Is it not a contradiction?


Dot pretended to be deaf. Nevertheless she was playing the piano.

reply

The deaf can play musical instruments. Plus Dot wasn't born deaf, so she could be playing from memory. (If she wasn't pretending to be deaf.)

I know, but Dot was not a musician. She pretended to be deaf and a deaf cannot enjoy any instrument, because he cannot hear it.

Do not confuse with deaf (or almost so) musicians, like Beethoven, who were compmosing and not playing an instrument just for their own pleasure. It's not the same. The musicians can compose, because they can "hear" the music just be reading the notes in the score.

And a little symbolism.
People see and hear things (AND HAVE THOUGHTS) but they pretend they don't.
