> Characters
> 
> Troy Maxson (50-60 years) -  The protagonist of Fences, a fifty-three year-old, African American man who works for the sanitation department, lifting garbage into trucks. Troy is also a former baseball star in the Negro Leagues. Troy's athletic ability diminished before the Major Leagues accepted blacks. Hard-working, strong and prone to telling compelling, fanciful stories and twisting the truth, Troy is the family breadwinner and plays the dominant role in his over thirty-year friendship with fellow sanitation worker, Jim Bono. Troy's character is the centerpiece that all of the other relationships in Fences gather around. Troy is husband to Rose, father to Lyons, Cory, and Raynell, and brother to Gabriel. Troy is a tragic-hero who has excessive pride for his breadwinning role. Troy's years of hard-work for only meager progress depress him. Troy often fails to provide the love and support that would mean the most to his loved ones.
>  
> Cory Maxson (17-21) - The teenage son of Troy and Rose Maxson.
>  
> Rose Maxson (40-50 years old) - Troy's wife and mother of his second child, Cory. Rose is a forty-three year-old African American housewife who volunteers at her church regularly and loves her family.
>  
> Gabriel Maxson (30-50 years old) - Troy's brother. Gabriel was a soldier in the Second World War, during which he received a head injury that required a metal plate to be surgically implanted into his head.
>  
> Jim Bono  -  Troy's best friend of over thirty years..
>  
> Lyons Maxson (20-30 years old) - Troy's son, fathered before Troy's time in jail with a woman Troy met before Troy became a baseball player and before he met Rose. Lyons is an ambitious and talented jazz musician.
>  
> Raynell Maxson (7 to 10 years old) - Troy's illegitimate child, mothered by Alberta, his lover.
