Although Wilson and Chopin were writing during the same period, the issues they focused on were different because the lenses they were written through. The main idea of both authors were oppressed people in a system working against them. The authors similarly write about how the oppressed, (African Americans and Women) could break off the chains that held them back during that time period. Both authors can personally relate to the story because Kate Chopin is a woman herself and August Wilson's mother was African American.

Race, Men and Masculinity, Family, Duty, and Betrayal

Race is incorporated in Fence's themes heavily through Troy's dreams and hopes of becoming a Major League Player while being Black during America's  segregation era.

"The whole time I was growing up living in his house Papa was like a shadow that followed you everywhere. It weighed on you and sunk into your flesh. It would wrap around you and lay there until you couldn't tell which one was you anymore."  (Act 2, Scene 5)
In this quote the theme of family is implied through Cory's negative feelings to his father. In this time period, family was important, especially for Blacks. And having poor family relations was harmful since they were already being discriminated against.

Women and Femininity, Marriage, Love, Family, Society and Class, Respect and Reputation

Both authors portray the main  characters (Troy and Mrs. Pontellier) as unhappy and oppressed in their current life. The characters find a way to enlightenment and then death causes them to be "free" from a society working against them.

Edna didn't choose to be a mother and for Edna it was more  of a burden than a desire. She saw her children in a negative  aspect rather than a positive.
