The show is refreshing in the way that it does not only show the "White Picket Fence" family that is often portrayed in television. Many viewers keep watching the show because they identify with the characters and the struggles that the family faces.

Alienation of Troy in Wilson’s Fences August Wilson’s Fences is a play about life‚ and an extended metaphor Wilson uses to show the crumbling relationships between Troy and Cory and Troy and Rose.

Troy Maxson is representative of many blacks and their "attitudes and behavior...within the social flux of the late fifties‚ in
