After finding the true and equal love in Baines, Ada does not need the piano; she yearns to enter into the real life, that is why she first breaks the coffin, and then sinks it into the sea. She has no contact with the real world and other people. She sacrifices her isolation for an attachment to other people and to life. However, as the piano drops into the sea she curiously and purposely places her foot in the rope to go overboard with the piano. We see her being pulled down under the cold dark sea in slow motion, expressionless. Above Ada, her hair and arms are stretched out in a gesture of surrender and the murky water obscures her, just as she has been masked and silenced throughout this film.Ada gazes around calmly,accepting the idea of death at first before having a change of heart and choice of life encourage her to fight her way to the surface again. Ada suddenly resists and fight against the rope, she slips it off her foot along with her shoe, and frees herself. She regains to the surface, and is saved. She disentangles herself from what once gave her a voice with the realization that she can be happy now
