A 3 page essay that discusses Wilson's use of irony in this play. August Wilson's play Fences is set in 1957, a time when things were just beginning to change in American society on issues of entrenched racial bigotry. The prevailing irony in Fences is that it is the protagonist himself, Troy Maxson, and not society that provides the obstacles or "fences" in his life that keep him hemmed in and unfulfilled emotionally. The fence between Troy and his wife Rose is Troy's infidelity. Between Troy and his son Cory, it is Troy's frustration over his own unfulfilled athletic dreams. There are also fences between Troy and his brother Gabe and even between himself and best friend, Jim Bono. Troy blames society and his own unhappy childhood, but Wilson shows, ironically, that it is Troy who is the builder of his "fences." No additional sources cited.
