    Rose Maxson is a forty-three year old woman. She is the wife of Troy Maxson and mother of Cory Maxson. Typically Rose is seen cooking and/or cleaning. Through her actions, she is perceived as a woman who does everything they can to keep her loved ones close by and happy. She is a very selfless person. She offers food to anyone who comes to visit and also helps out financially where needed even when her financial situation is sparse. She is also loving and caring. She tends to show concern for others including her son, Cory, her brother-in-law, Gabriel, and even Bono and his significant other, Lucille. Rose has proven to be a loyal, responsible and realistic person. In Act I scene 3, when Troy was boasting about his athletic abilities and comparing his situation to Cory’s, Rose attempted to share her sense of reality with Troy. She reminded him that his age (and not his ability) was the reason he didn’t make it too far with baseball. She confessed her loyalty to Troy at the end of Act I scene 1 and continued to show loyalty by staying with him after he…

    The scene begins with Jake Amy’s husband very upset pacing around the room. What I found analyzing Jake and Amy and how it pertains to self-disclosure. Is that using the Johari Window Jake is showing a hidden or unknown behavior. For example Jake is pacing around the room very angry wondering where his wife is and why she has not arrived to their schedule therapy appointment. As he is pacing he calling everyone that would know the whereabouts of his wife. I don’t think Jake realizes how angry and controlling his behavior is. Next his wife Amy finally arrives to the appointment very causal and normal. She does not notice or care that her husband is fuming. I think that maybe she has an unknown way that she processes Jake angry behavior and she behaves very normal.…

    First of all, Rose and Troy had a nice family. They had a son together and she always said she wanted a “whole family”. As we know Troy already had a son (Lyons), but that was before Rose met Troy. Even though Rose dislikes things Troy does she still loves him. She wouldn’t say anything about that situation. For example, “She recognizes Troy’s spirit as a fine and illuminating one and she either ignores or forgives his faults, only some of which she recognizes”. Rose didn’t have a paying job, but she always kept the house together and always cooked. Rose said,” I’m cooking up some chicken. I got some chicken and collard greens (pg6).” She was a normal house wife.…
