Fences

This play was very depression. I do not see any reason why I should sympathize with Troy. He seems to be bitter about the past and is taking it out on his love ones, which is selfish and cruel. If this play was meant to make me feel pitiful towards Troy, I do not at all. I think that Rose was a beautiful woman, and I felt a lot of pain for her while reading the play. I also really sympathized with Corey similar to how I sympathized with Biff in Death of a Salesman, although, at least Willy was loving and selfless, unlike Troy. I really didn't get the moral of this story either. I am anxious for class discussion to gain some new insight.
