Daniel Dobson. March 7,2018

Using bono’s line on page 61, analyze the various implications of the play’s title. On page 61 bono states that “ some people build fences to keep people out… and other use fences to keep people in”. This citation relates to the title because people use fences as a way to make sure there families are protected and safe, but on (page 89) when troy chooses to kick cory out of their house cory loses his father’s protection and was considered an outsider cause of him being on the other side of the fence.” Tell mama i’ll be back for my things. They’ll be on the other side of that fence. After troy has messed up in cheating on rose the family wasn’t the same they all went there separate ways …show more content…

Determine to what extent rose is an empowering model for women. Rose is a very honest and kind person but she also has her limits like everyone else in the story does. She has shown that not only she is a loving mother and wife she is very strong. What makes her a good role model for women is that she sacrificed her goals and dreams for her family. She was committed to being a good mother and wife. In (Pages 70 and 71) rose unleashed all her feelings in an argument between her and troy.” i been standing with you! I been right here with you, troy. I got a life too. I gave 18 years of my life to stand in the same spot with you. Don’t you think i had dreams and hopes ? What about my life? What about me. These citations shows the sacrifice rose has given up which was her dreams. Another citation that shows how rose is an empowering role model for women when she felt sympathy for a motherless newborn knowing who the father was. She takes her in showing her loving nature and her ability to put her anger to the side. In (page 79) rose says “ i’ll take care of your baby for you… cause… like you say… she’s innocent… and you can’t visit the sins of the father upon the child. A motherless child has got a hard time. From right now… this child got a mother. But you a womanless

    ( chapter-1 pg-1 ). Aside from the very obvious strong female angle, the quote spoke to me on a personal level. The mother denouncing her commitment to her son for his act of Cowardice is a strong lesson. There is nothing strong enough to protect us from the wave of dishonor associated with turning your back on your brothers. Honor being the strongest core value in my opinion, it is important that we strive to uphold it and its implications in our character.

  • Comparing The Bond Between Father And Son In August Wilson's Fences

    672 Words  | 3 Pages

    The dynamic between a father and son is never a simple journey, but instead, comes with curveballs thrown left and right. In Fences, by August Wilson, he writes of the hardships between a father and son relationship and the difficulties a father has over trying to shield his son from life’s cruelties, to the salvation found between being fenced in and finally being placed outside of the fence—both literally and metaphorically. Through out the play, there are numerous confrontations between Troy and Cory—whether it be when Cory asks Troy whether or not he loves him or when Cory throws his football helmet towards the direction of Troy—which show the difficult and complicated relationship between father and son. Also prevalent in the play, was the lack of a father and male figure in Troy’s own life, during his most influential and important years. Troy recognizes that and the way he was/is treated by society in general and wanted to “help” his son by showing Cory the difficult lessons Troy learned during his youth, as a way to lessen the pain that would be inflicted on his son later on.

    The play, Fences by August Wilson, is about Troy Maxson and his struggling family relationships. A recurring idea throughout the story is the construction of a fence around Troy's home. Troy's fence could symbolize two things, Troy is trying to protect his family from the outside world, or Troy is isolating himself from his own family. As the construction of the fence progresses, the more severely damaged Troy's relationships become. In this play, the underlying message is that, despite the fact that fences can both protect and isolate, Troy’s fence isolates him from his family rather than to protect his family.
