Fences by August Wilson. Fences by August Wilson manifest a slice-of-life in a black tenement in Pittsburgh. The play is set in the late 1950s through 1965. The main character, Troy Maxson is a trash collector who has taken great price in keeping his family jointly and providing food for them.Troy's revolt and frustration set the tone for the play as he encounters prejudice in society, due to the color of his skin. In his battle he builds barriers between himself and his family. Troy also wrestles with the idea of death and assert that he sees death as nothing but a fastball, something he can control. The baseball metaphor is used in alliance to death all through the play. Pages: 2 Bibliography: 1 source(s) listed Filename: 706 Fences by August Wilson.doc Price: 17.90
