    ...eless, he essentially lived his life in a constant low point. Troy’s anger is undoubtedly misguided, but entirely permissible considering his hardships. The story of Troy Maxon begs the question: is it ever justifiable to pass judgment on someone without understanding his or her life story? After analyzing Troy’s struggle and resulting attitude, it seems that passing judgment is exceptionally risky. Without recognizing the early hardships of Troy’s life, it is easy to dismiss him and his cynical outlook. What can be learned from his story is evident. Never judge someone for his or her seemingly unwarranted attitude because there is a good chance it is completely defensible.

  • An Overview of 'Fences' by August Wilson

    367 Words  | 1 Pages

    This makes Troy the antagonist in the story because he is not only hitting up against everyone in the play, but he is also hitting up against himself and ultimately making his life more complicated. The discrimination that Troy faced while playing baseball and the torment he endures as a child shaped him into one of the most dynamic characters in literary history. The central conflict is the relationship between Troy and Cory. The two of them have conflicting views about Cory’s future and, as the play goes on, this rocky relationship crumbles because Troy will not let Cory play collegiate football. The relationship becomes even more destructive when Troy admits to his relationship with Alberta and he admits Gabriel to a mental institution by accident.

Troy and Bono work together maneuvering items, but Troy exclaims, “ You think only white fellows got sense enough to drive a truck. That ain’t no paper job!” (1.1) Moreover, Troy has a relationship with another woman and the relationship will soon bite him in the butt. Juggling between work, kids, the constant fight with life and death, his stubborn attitude, and his life ruled by baseball, Troy puts himself in a position where he always has to be in trouble, but he does not realize that it was him putting himself in these situations. Furthermore, at the end of the play, the one thing that he loves the most ends up killing him. One aspect that I would like to comment on is how Troy would not let his son Cory go to college for football. Being a parent and wanting the best for children is understandable; however, if their child has a passion for something, the parent should not stand in the

    In the end Troy died living behind a trail of animosity between him and his family. In my opinion his story is that of a tragic hero. He began being loved and praised by his family but eventually and gradually, he began to succumb to the weight of racism. It can be said that the effects of racism finally took the better of Troy, and consequentially it ruled his life. Like his fictional stories, death finally took him.
