The above lines are taken from August Wilson’s play Fences, where the two main characters, Troy and Cory are seen talking. They are discussing about the sins of their fathers as noted from the above quote. From the conversation it is clear that Troy wanted to be the host to his father’s sins while Cory could think nothing better than banish all his father’s sins. These lines are important to understand the mentalities of the two main characters of the play.
