Looking at the fences of Troy Maxson and the fences of
Othello, respond to the following prompt:
Compare and contrast the main characters of Fences and Othello, taking into account the following questions:
Compare and contrast the main characters of Fences and Othello, taking into account the following questions:
In what ways did these characters use metaphorical fences to
shield themselves from the world? In
what ways did they use them to keep people in?
Why do you think they did this? How
did their psychological worldview affect their lives, and in the end, cause
their tragic endings? How are these
characters similar? (In other words, what is the psychology behind them?)
This should be a well-organized, 4-6 paragraph essay that is
well-developed. It should include
original thought, ideas, and textual analysis. Quotes from the text are welcome,
but not necessary. Specific examples are
important.
