Conflict

One of the main conflicts in Act one, Scene one of Fences is between Troy and his son Lyons. Lyons comes to Troy's house asking for ten dollars, claiming that he would be able to pay him back because his girlfriend started working at the hospital recently. Troy refuses to give him money because he feels that Lyons needs to learn to work for his money, and because Troy needs the money for himself and Rose. In the end, Troy gives his payday to Rose, who gives ten dollars to Lyons.
