For Troy, the fact that he still hasn't built the fence shows that he isn't doing his part to contribute to helping the family.

Troy did end up finishing the fence however, but it took his family being on the verge of falling apart before he would take real action.

The symbolic meaning of the title, "Fences", using my symbolism journal and my overall understanding of the plot, conflict, and theme, the fence symbolizes keeping people in, keeping people out, and protecting the family/house. In the beginning, when Troy didn't wanna build the fence and having an affair with Alberta, this just showed that he didn't care about his family much and represented that he didn't care about who came in or who came out. Troy also didn't care about his son Cory. Cory had to decide to either play sports or work. The fence represents him feeling trapped and having no say in his future. Rose always begged for Troy to finish building the fence because she looked at the fence as protection for the family. Even though she didnt know just yet that Troy was having an affair. When Alberta died giving birth to Raynell, and Rose decided to help take care of Raynell, Troy finally decides to build the fence because he doesn't want anyone coming in or out to make even bigger mistakes.

The Maxson family's fence is the most prominent piece of symbolism in the story "Fences". The fence serves as a sign of Troy's goals and priorities, Rose's sense of security, and the family's unity. Rose constantly asks Troy to work on the fence, but he often times puts it off for smaller, less important things (like flirting with Alberta). But Troy does feel that the fence is necessary and makes plans to build it perfectly, however, sometimes he just simply fails to get it done.
In addition, the fence is a refuge, a border, the only thing separating or keeping the Maxson family safe from the outside world. Rose wants it to keep trouble out and the Maxson men in, Troy wants it to keep out Mr. Death, and Cory sees it as a hindrance and a blockage. It represents Troy's ambiguous behavior for him. Although the fence should be keeping him safe, it's also what's keeping him from moving forward.
Lastly, the fence is a picture of the Maxson family's unity. The fence represents their togetherness, or lack thereof. The fence is half-built and shabby, allowing intruding situations. Yet, the fences hasn't fell and was fully built, symbolizing the strength through flaws of the Maxson family.

In the Story, "Fences," the title has a bigger meaning than what it may sound like. The fence was something Rose wanted to build to keep troy in or to stop him from whatever he was doing because she didn't want things to get worse. However Troy wanted the fence to keep people out . In the end troy did admit to Rose about having an affair on her but not only that he had a baby by the other woman so technically the fence wasn't keeping anyone out or in because Cory eventually ended up leaving because him and his father didn't really get along.

the symbolic reasoning behind the title "fences" relates to the story so much because of two main conflicts in the story. In the play Rose wants Troy to build her fence around the house so that their family can be secured inside of it, now this was figured out by readers because of the conversation troy had with his friend bono and he stated "some people build fences to keep people in" not knowing it was too late and troy has a baby on the way and already broke the family. Finally, the fence symbolized the family being together if you got kicked out like Cory (troys son) did his stuff was left in front of the fence and he was no longer apart of the family in Troy's eyes. In conclusion, because troy and rose both have there own meaning behind the fence then these are symbolic to the story.
