Question 8                   AUGUST WILSON: Fences
Assess the role of women in the play

Observation

 

This was a fairly attempted question. Candidates were not able to properly identify all the characters.
This question requires:

  • The statement of the theme of racism discrimination in America of the 1950s
  • The character identification of Rose, Bonnie, Alberta, and Lucille.
  • A discussion on the role the women play which include: maintaining their families and homes: preparing food for their family, mothering, promoting peace and togetherness, sexually satisfying their husbands and showing commitment to their husbands.

Candidates’ performance was average.
