Discrimination In Fences

Characters in “Fences” must deal with racial discrimination, bad relationships among themselves, and entrapment, or fenced in. Gabriel has the biggest "fence" around him as he acts limitless with no boundaries due to his disability.

So instead, Rose decided she still wanted that fence to be built, even if she wasn’t talking to Troy anymore. As time passed, when the baby was born, Alberta passed away, and Troy finished building the
