The Fences Play Analysis

Acting Project

Every father shows the love for his son in a different way. in this scene, we the father shows us the different way. However, a father gets angry about his son. The son asked a simple question but the meaning on that question was big. The question was "How come you ain't never liked me?". The Fences play by August Wilson, this play they did it more than once on some different times, places, actors, etc. However, in this paper you are going to find comparison between two scenes the first was on 1987 and the actor was James Earl Jones, The second scene by Denzel Washington on 2010. Now you will find the actor’s approach, approaching the idea from the text, and the effective and the ineffective of the scenes.

First of all, the first scene the actor supported his idea by being angry and serious and his voice was loud. The second scene was serious, when the father screaming to his son, both the father and his son make it a little funny at the beginning.

In my opinion about the two scenes. The first one has an effective scene it shows us a drama scene and a father who is upset about his son and how he is reaction go. The second scene was ineffective because he makes the scene not serious like at the beginning of the scene his facial expression and his movements were relaxing. Moreover, there is a specific moment that effective me and it is when James get angry and he said: “Come here boy when I talked to you”. He was angry when he says it and with his expression we can know that how the father is serious. Also, it shows like he had a hard life and he forget how his son needs love.

That was a one scene from Fences play and I write about the actor’s approach, the actors idea, and the effective and the ineffective of the scenes. Both of the scenes were great and we can feel the characters feeling and his anger. Also, we learn even we are busy with our life, we have to say good things and smile specifically to our
