Title
Obstacles force many people to face hard struggles at some point in life. Some give up, but others rise up to overcome these obstacles. In the play Fences, August Wilson writes about a few characters that took a harder road than others and overcome their obstacles, but also characters that gave up when obstacles came their way. This play was centered on the characters’ lives changing around the fence-building project, which serves as both a literal and a figurative device, representing the relationships that bond and break in the arena of the backyard. Wilson uses symbolic characters and objects to convey the theme that people have many obstacles and barriers to face throughout life.
Through the characters of Rose and Cory, Wilson symbolizes them as the ones who took a harder road than others, and overcame their obstacles. Rose always put her family first, and loved her husband Troy very much. One obstacle Rose faced was Troy having an affair on her. Troy tells her “I’m gonna be a daddy. I’m gonna be sombody’s daddy” (1060). Rose was upset because she had done everything she could to be a great wife. Rose was shocked and could not believe what she was hearing. “Been married eighteen years and I got to live to see the day you tell me you been seeing another woman and done fathered a child by her” (1061). Troy asked if Rose would she accept his baby he had with the other woman because the baby was motherless.
