A Comparative Study of August Wilson’s Play Fences and Robert Frost’s Mending Wall
Author Name: Dr. Chandana B.;
Abstract
This study aims to present a comparative analysis of August Wilson’s play Fences and Robert Frost’s poem Mending Wall. Both works explore the theme of boundaries, but they do so in different contexts and with varying interpretations. Fences uses the physical structure of a fence as a central metaphor for the emotional and relational barriers Troy Maxson constructs around himself and his family, reflecting the racial and personal limitations of the 1950s. In contrast, Mending Wall centres on the physical wall between two neighbours, prompting reflection on tradition, human connection, and the broader implications of maintaining boundaries.
