Two questions about the play " Fences "

 

Act 1, Scene 2:

How does Rose’s role as a wife and mother reflect societal expectations of women, particularly African American women, in the 1950s, and how does her sense of duty impact her relationship with Troy?

Her sense of duty impacts her relationship with troy by balancing out the relationship as you see troy is more hard. It's like a good cop bad cop.




Act 1, Scene 3:

In what ways do Troy’s interaction with Corey reveals the complexities of masculinity and fatherhood in African American culture, and how does his past shape his expectations of manhood?

 It reveals masculinity and fatherhood because his father dont want him to have an easy way and that he thinks he should work for his money , that his dad is trying to teach his son to be a man. His past shapes his expectations of manhood by having certain standards and beliefs.
