Watch the three youtube clips of the same scene from “Fences.” In one Troy is somewhat serio-comic (serious but comic, too), in another he is very serious, and in the third he seems to me downright intimidating. Of the three versions, which is most like the way you envisioned the scene? Which least? Explain by reflecting on your perception of Troy through your reading of the play.
