Personal Fences In every person, there is always going to be personal “fences” that make you nestle into certain habits and ways. To some people, fences are built to keep their loved ones safe and close to them. Much like Rose in the story “Fences”. To other people fences are to keep people out, and push them away. Much like the personal fences that Troy has built over his lifetime. Fences can affect you in different ways, but for Troy it was mostly negative. In the play “Fences” Troy has many personal fences of his own, but the most debilitating one is his upbringing because it causes him to be a bad father and husband. Troy’s personal fence, being his upbringing really effected who he was as a father.
