    Troy feels that his father, Papa, has always been a shadow that followed him everywhere and weighed him down. The shadow of Papa dug into Troy's flesh and tried to crawl inside him, making it hard for Troy to distinguish himself from his father. Troy wants to break free of his father's shadow and establish his own identity, rather than just being an extension of Papa. Troy needs to say no to his father for once and find a way to get rid of the shadow so that he can truly be himself rather than just his father's shadow.

    CORY: Fences

    Mama… listen… I can’t drag Papa with me everywhere I go. I’ve got to say
    no to him. One time in my life I’ve got to say no. 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. That shadow digging in your flesh. Trying to crawl in. Trying to
    live through you.Everywhere I looked, Troy Maxson was staring back at
    me… hiding under the bed… in the closet. I’m just saying I’ve got to find a
    way to get rid of that shadow, Mama. I don’t want to
    be Troy Maxson. I want to be me.
