Essays On Fences
Fences is a highly acclaimed play by August Wilson that takes place in the 1950s. It follows the life of Troy Maxson, an African American man living in Pittsburgh with his wife and son. Through the story, we watch as Troy struggles to protect his family from poverty and discrimination while also trying to find himself in a world that does not always accept him.Themes explored in Fences include racism, power dynamics between men and women, classism, responsibility and identity. These themes are presented through multiple characters including Rose, Cory and Gabriel ” each representing different aspects of society at this time. In addition to exploring these important topics within its own context, Fences also looks at how they impact individuals’ lives today. Troy is a character who has experienced much injustice throughout his lifetime due to being an African-American man born into a segregated society during the 1950s. He often feels like he is unable to escape the limitations imposed upon him or fence himself away from them; thus the title of play: Fences. As such, it illustrates how even though someone may be limited by certain societal boundaries they can still manage to find success if they refuse to give up on their dreams despite all odds stacked against them – just like Troy eventually did when he got a job as garbage collector late in his life after years of struggling with manual labor jobs from which he was never able make enough money for security for himself and his family . In addition to racial issues faced by many people during this period (such as segregation), other issues explored include gender roles/expectations within marriage relationships between spouses (Rose & Troy) , religious beliefs (Gabriel) , generational conflict (Cory vs Troy), class disparity between classes etc.. The play further examines what happens when one attempts to break free from these restrictions placed on them – both spiritually/mentally (Troy) or physically/literally (Rose). Ultimately it shows us that no matter our background or circumstances there are ways we can strive towards freedom without giving up our humanity entirely ” something very relevant even now more than 50 years later since its initial debut.
