Comments About the Character of Troy Maxson In the Play, "Fences."
Troy Maxson hated his father and wanted to live a life that was different from his fathers. As he grew up he ended up doing everything that he hated about his father. Like his father, Troy was very hard headed, verbally abusive, physically abusive, and a womanizer at heart. Throughout my life time I have seen many young men turn into their fathers just like Troy did. It is exciting to see when a young man turns into their father when their father is a good upstanding citizen and devoted father to his children, while remaining a faithful husband to his wife. But it is heartbreaking to see son's that mimic a father who was abusive, a lawbreaker, and unfaithful husband. Unfortunately more and more fathers are starting to resemble how not to live instead of how to live.

I agree with you Brian, it seems that our society has become accustomed to the prevailing trend of an irresponsible Father and based on our current television shows have even sought to normalize it like its okay. In my opinion, our society has been in steep decline for may years and many of the reasons for this are directly related to the lack of a responsible Father figure in children's lives.
