Bono and Troy had a very close relationship. At the beginning of the play both men where introduced talking about work and how long they were friends (over 20 years ). As the play enters into the rising action Bono was telling Troy of how he was lucky to have Rose as a wife, but Troy could not grasp the meaning of what Bono was talking about.

Three kinds of music exist in the play: hymns, jazz, and a folk song. Rose and Gabriel rely on religious music for strength and inspiration. Rose does so more consciously because her life with Troy has been difficult; she sees the church as a refuge.

Lyons is a jazz...

Fences are significant of many things in this play. In fact, fences means different things for different people. For example, Rose believes the incomplete fence surrounding the home will maintain her family safe inside it. However, Troy believes the fence keeps people out . After the death of Alberta, Troy finishes building the fence as a way of keeping Death, a character in the play, from claiming anyone else. Fences meant something...
