Family, Duty, and Betrayal Theme Icon

Fences is a portrayal of family life—of how its characters view their roles as individual family members, and how they each define their commitment or duty to the family; it also explores how betrayal can break the familial bond.

Troy refuses to tell Cory he loves him; rather, Troy tells Cory he only acts out of duty towards him as a son, and that there’s no reason that love necessarily must be involved. Duty, for Troy, is the foundation of family—but it’s almost indistinguishable from how Troy views professional duty (as an act one is obligated to perform regardless of one’s personal feelings towards one’s employer—e.g., he speaks of Mr. Rand in this way). If love isn’t a factor that distinguishes family from profession—if family is just a contractual obligation—then Troy must not find much of anything about family life particularly rewarding or unique.

Troy’s affair with Alberta doesn’t conflict with his understanding of family as founded on duty. Troy largely view his obligation and connection to his family as fiscal, and nothing more. Further, Troy’s betrayal of Rose ultimately reveals how the ties of families like his are fundamentally based upon the relationship between the two spouses who create it—in this case, a black man and woman raising a family in relative poverty—and upon whose union, which isn’t guaranteed, the survival of those ties depend. Troy’s betrayal therefore reveals a crack at the heart of family life: the fact that the idea of a family as a stably defined, pre-existing structure of human experience and development is quite complicated. Dishonoring his bond with Rose, Troy’s family starts to fall apart.

Further, the idea of what the Maxson family really ‘is’ gets complicated by the addition of Troy’s baby with Alberta, Raynell, whom Rose lets into the family after Alberta’s death, becoming her adoptive mother. The family, therefore, is revealed to be a system of pledges and vows which, as such, can morph and evolve over time. This sense of pledging is emphasized by Rose’s reply to Troy when he admits to his affair—Rose emphasizes the intense sacrifices she’s made for her relationship with Troy, saying that there were definitely times she wanted to pursue more fun and satisfaction by being with other men, but that she refused because of her vows.

Rose also defends her view of family as essential and unbreakable by insisting that Cory attend his father’s funeral, despite his wish to skip it. While Cory considers himself separated from his father, Rose invokes family as something which should surpass personal differences. Yet, at the same time, this is not an invocation of Troy’s kind of duty. For Rose, family is more than a fiscal contract. She tells Troy she felt a devotion to him based on a moral sacrifice of her own, personal longings—a sacrifice which adultery undoes and betrays. Unlike Troy’s sense of obligation, adultery conflicts with Rose’s sense of moral duty.

Whereas Troy thinks that his adultery is something permissible, and which Rose should be able to accept and wrap her head around because of all the sacrifices he’s made to support the family, Rose rejects this. She affirms that she’s made sacrifices too, but they transcend sacrifices motivated merely by making money and doing one’s job as a provider in getting food on the table and maintaining the house. Rather, Rose’s ‘duty’ is one of staying together and protecting the bonds of the family—bonds which she, again, sees as something never to be broken.

You and me is two different people, Pop. . . . I know I got to eat. But I got to live too. I need something that gonna help me to get out of the bed in the morning.

Explanation and Analysis:
Lyons speaks these lines to Troy in the first scene of the first act, after he’s asked Troy if he can borrow ten dollars. Troy chastises Lyons for asking to borrow money, criticizing Lyons for pursuing a fast, carefree, and profitless lifestyle as a professional musician, when Lyons could very well go out and get a stable, steady-paying job doing some sort of trade instead. But Lyons, in this passage, insists that he and Troy live in two different worlds: while Troy only emphasizes material wealth and stability, Lyons prioritizes feeling joy at what he does every day, and considers Dolorem et quae.

Explanation and Analysis:
Rose sings at the beginning of the second scene of the first act, while she’s hanging clothes up to dry. Rose’s desire to be protected manifests, as it does in this song, through her request that Troy build a fence around their yard. For Rose, the fence embodies safety, as well as the capacity to keep her family together as a unit and set off from a dangerous outside world. Rose’s song seems to suggest that her longing for a fence also has a religious dimension—that the protection and definition of space, the definition of inside versus outside, and the Dolorem et quae.

You go on and get your book-learning so you can work yourself up in that A&P or learn how to fix cars or build houses or something, get you a trade. That way you have something can’t nobody take away from you. You go on and learn how to put your hands to some good use. Besides hauling people’s garbage.

Explanation and Analysis:
This quote—spoken by Troy to Cory after Troy mentions that he’s heard from Rose about Cory’s recruitment to play college football—demonstrates that, perhaps on some fundamental level, Troy truly does intend only good things for his son, even though he often fails to show it. Troy, certainly not silent on the matter of white supremacy and racial discrimination, is firmly convinced—based on his experiences of discrimination when he tried to play professional baseball—that the world of sports will not be hospitable for his son, a young black male. And, while it’s easy to pass Troy off as a pigheaded man Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt. Ad dolor at. Quia aperiam eligendi. Ut veniam voluptatem.

Explanation and Analysis:
Troy speaks these lines to Cory in the third scene of the first act, after Cory asks Troy why he’s never liked him as a son. Troy’s harshness and fundamental lack of any loving qualities as a father come to a pinnacle here. Troy insists that his duty as a father is simply a contractual one—that he’s responsible out of sheer contractual obligation, like a job, to provide for Cory, hence why Troy compares their relationship to the one he shares with his boss, Mr. Rand. For Troy, his duty to provide for his son isn’t born out of love, Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt. Ad dolor at. Quia aperiam eligendi.

I don’t want him to be like me! I want him to move as far away from my life as he can get. You the only decent thing that ever happened to me. I wish him that. But I don’t wish him a thing else from my life. I decided seventeen years ago that boy wasn’t getting involved in no sports. Not after what they did to me in the sports.

Explanation and Analysis:
Troy speaks these lines to Rose when she enters the yard after Troy spoke to Cory about his duty as a father. Cory’s exited the yard to go to the A&P store, in an attempt to get his job back (which he gave away because of the time commitment required by football). Troy says this in response to Rose’s comment that Cory is only trying to please Troy, to be like Troy, and that Troy should therefore ease up on his son.We see here, once again, something of a decent, perhaps noble motivation behind Troy’s approach to parenting Cory—behind such Dolorem et quae.

Act 1: Scene 4 Quotes

How he gonna leave with eleven kids? And where he gonna go? He ain’t knew how to do nothing but farm. No, he was trapped and I think he knew it. But I’ll say this for him . . . he felt a responsibility toward us. Maybe he ain’t treated us the way I felt he should have . . . but without that responsibility he could have walked off and left us . . . made his own way.

Explanation and Analysis:
Troy speaks these lines to Lyons in the fourth scene of the first act, when Lyons stops by to pay his father back the ten dollars he borrowed in the first scene of the play. Bono and Troy are both discussing their fathers.What’s most striking about Troy’s description of his father, perhaps, is the fact that Troy’s explanation to Cory about his duty as a father corresponds exactly with the sense of responsibility Troy attributes to his own dad. In telling Cory that he’s not obligated, as a father, to like his son, but only to provide for him materially, Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt.

Explanation and Analysis:
Bono speaks these lines to Troy and Cory in the first scene of the second act, while they’re all working on the fence. Cory has just asked what the point of building the fence is in the first place.Fully aware that Troy is having an affair with Alberta, Bono wants to evoke, with this statement, a realization in Troy about the gravity of what he’s doing to Rose—that he’s betraying his bond with an incredibly loving, good, and strong woman. As Troy’s best friend, Bono surely knows that Troy’s mind is prone to fantasy—Troy has believed that he can lie Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt.

Explanation and Analysis:
Troy speaks these lines to Rose, in the first scene of the second act, after he’s confessed to her about his affair and baby with Alberta. This is another instance where Troy’s obsession with the imagery of baseball takes over his use of language. Here, particularly, it’s apparent that—by his use of baseball metaphors to describe his moral character and ethical status as a man “born with two strikes” already against him—Troy’s imagination bypasses actually dealing with the reality of his actions. Instead of discussing, explicitly, how he has betrayed his wife by sleeping with another woman, Troy diverts from Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt. Ad dolor at. Quia aperiam eligendi. Ut veniam voluptatem. Aperiam consequuntur mollitia. Provident expedita delectus. Occaecati ea suscipit. Optio ut iste. Voluptas aut oc

Explanation and Analysis:
Rose speaks these lines in response to the last quote, spoken by Troy. Once again, Rose proves herself to be the voice of reason when faced with Troy’s excessively imaginative mind that frequently covers up truth with distracting, invented images. As soon as Troy, entangled in his unclear language about being born with “two strikes on you before you come to the plate,” tries desperately to divert Rose’s attention from the concrete reality of his adultery, she refuses to give into his confused world of euphemisms and images. As the voice of reason, she rejects Troy’s words, and insists that Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt. Ad dolor at. Quia aperiam eligend

I been standing with you! I been right here with you, Troy. I got a life too. I gave eighteen years of my life to stand in the same spot with you. Don’t you think I ever wanted other things? Don’t you think I had dreams and hopes? What about my life? What about me? Don’t you think it ever crossed my mind to want to know other men? That I wanted to lay up somewhere and forget about my responsibilities? That I wanted someone to make me laugh so I could feel good? . . . I gave everything I had to try and erase the doubt that you wasn’t the finest man in the world. . . . You always talking about what you give . . . and what you don’t have to give. But you take too. You take . . . and don’t even know nobody’s giving!

Explanation and Analysis:
Perhaps the most powerful moment of the entire play, Rose speaks these lines to Troy after he’s confessed to his affair with Alberta. This is the first time in the play when Rose’s own voice—a voice which articulates her own feelings, hopes, opinions, desires and imagined fantasies—gets fully expressed. This is the first time that Rose expresses herself without any censorship, without any hesitation before Troy’s excessive presence, his narcissistic occupation of space. Here, Rose affirms that she has dreams and longings of her own, even though Troy addresses and talks to her as if she didn’t have any. She Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non.

Explanation and Analysis:
Troy speaks this to Cory in the first scene of the second act. Troy has just confessed to Rose about his affair with Alberta and the baby they’re going to have; after they argue for a while, Troy grabs Rose by the arm, and Rose tells Troy that he’s hurting her. Cory then enters the scene, and pushes Troy off from Rose—this is when Troy warns Cory that he’s had “strike one.” Troy uses this metaphor about “strikes,” a term borrowed from baseball, in order to describe whenever Cory has severely insulted him.The fact that Troy uses this metaphor in Dolorem et quae.

Troy speaks this line in the fourth scene of the second act. Lyons has just stopped by the Maxson house to drop off some money for Troy, who’s not yet there, and Rose tells him to put it on the table. As he leaves, Cory enters the yard; they talk briefly (Lyons apologizes for missing Cory’s high school graduation), and Lyons exits. Then, Troy enters the yard; as he approaches the steps to the house, Rose exits the house with Raynell, carrying a cake, and Troy says this line.Though short and succinct, this is perhaps one of the most significant Dolorem et quae.

Explanation and Analysis:
Cory speaks these lines to Rose in the last scene of the play, at the Maxson household before Troy’s funeral. Cory’s just arrived: he hasn’t been home presumably in years, having joined the marines. He’s just told Rose that he doesn’t intend to attend Troy’s funeral, and she argues that it would be wrong to miss his father’s funeral.Cory’s description of Troy as a shadow that, upon wrapping around him, would mix itself up with him to the extent that he couldn’t distinguish himself from it, portrays Troy as an invasive force of malice that distorted Cory’s sense of self.
