Larger than Life: Mythicizing the Life and Death of August Wilson's Fences Hero
2021
Overview
August Wilson's play Fences (1986) is part of the playwright's endeavor to dramatize the African American experience in the United States in the twentieth century. In fact, he grounded his plays in African and African American cultures to produce distinguished black drama. Wilson is trying in this play to put the African American experience on equal footing with that of the white culture and to promise hope in a better tomorrow. This research paper aspires to explore how Wilson employs the blues, the game of baseball and storytelling to explain the nature of the adverse world Troy Maxon had to face from birth to death. Additionally, it also intends to describe Wilson's endeavor to mythicizing the life and death of his protagonist and his persuasion that he deserves all respect despite his human mistakes, life defeats and small triumphs. August Wilson uses these three threads-the blues, basketball and Troy Maxon's skill of storytelling- to knit the heroic story of his protagonist.
