In the year 1250, European citizens traveled from near and far to the quaint French town of Troyes in hopes of landing in what was known as the “Hot Fair.” Troyes, with Paris to the west, Châlons to the north, Verdun to the northeast, Dijon to the southeast, and Auxerre and Sens to the south, was a major commercial center at the time (Gies 23). The small town, surrounded by woodland, contained ancient Roman architecture, providing it with immense character.

Rose’s resentment of her parents’ infidelity and her inability to forgive them leads to conflict with Troy over his unfaithfulness. When Troy tells Rose that he is about to become a father Rose is angry not just because Troy cheated on her, but because she “ain’t never wanted no half nothing in my family.” Growing up, “everybody got different fathers and mothers… my two sisters and my brother. Can’t hardly tell who’s who. Can’t never sit down and talk about Papa and Mama. It’s your papa and mama and my papa and mama.”(68) She felt that it disrupted the unity of her family growing up and does not want to inflict the same conflict on her children.

The members of the family that makes the most effort to keep the family level is Troy?s wife, Rose. The narrator tells us that Rose is a gentle woman. She cares a great deal for her family and her husband, despite the challenge of making her home a positive environment under the strains of a man with such impossible qualities. The author explains her reasons for enduring Troy by saying that ? her devotion to him stems from her recognition of the possibilities of her life without him: a succession of abusive men and their babies, a life of partying and running the streets, the Church, or aloneness with its attendant pain and frustration? (526; I, 1). In light of the fact that Troy is a good man and provides for their family in a way of his duty, Rose loves and supports him and ?either ignores or forgives his faults, only some of which she recognizes? (526; I, 1). Despite his love and respect for his wife, Troy acts extremely disrespectfully towards Rose.

Troy argued for blacks to drive the garbage trucks, but he doesn't know how to drive or even have a license. Troy acts out to try and better his black community and to try and break the barrier between whites and blacks. When Troy confronts Rose about his affair with Alberta, Rose becomes very angry with Troy. Rose is a stronger person than Troy, despite what she lets him think. She makes this extremely apparent when Troy tells her about the affair. "All of a sudden it's "we," where was "we" at when you was down there rolling around with some god forsaken woman? "We" should have come to an understanding before you started making a damn fool of yourself. You're a day late and a dollar short when it comes to an understanding with me." Troy realizes that the affair causes much disrespect to his wife and family. One day while visiting his wife Rose, they receive a call at the

Tory Maxson’s life is full of imagination. He thinks he is better at many things then he really is. Tory thinks of his life as a baseball game.
