RR7 - Fences
The reason for naming the play fences is probably because it is pretty much about fences and the idea of fences.For instance using the term fence symbolizes a difference between sides because a fence is essentially a barrier or divider used for some purpose. all the characters seem to have some type of barrier between them. Troy has fence in which he parallels his marriage with. Rose has a fence for spiritual reasons. Everyone's fence represented something about them. Most notably what caught my attention was the separation between Troy and Cory. They have a pretty rough relationship. It seems at times he does not have so much pride in his son because he does not even believe the situation about paying back money. He wants the best for him but it seems they have trouble getting on the same page. For the most part I think this play was a projection of overall relationships. Ultimately this play made me think about the term of fences differently.

Yes, fences symbolizes a lot for different people. Troy has fences between him and pretty much every character in this play. Rose a fence around religion, jesus is very important to her doesn't let anything change that, so her fence is to protect. I also read on another blog that troy building the fence and his marriage to Rose go hand in hand, his lack of effort in building the fences corresponds to his lack of effort to keep his mariiage going.
