Topics for Further Study

What is the nature of the conflict between Cory and Troy? Research the options for black athletes who were recruited by colleges in the 1950s. Do you find that Troy’s reservations about Cory’s future as a ballplayer have merit?

Troy cannot read and so the oral tradition is an important means of communication for him. He tells his life story in Act I, scene iv. But he also tells part of his story through song. Research the role of storytelling as a part of the black experience. Consider also how the oral tradition has been replaced in many cultures by the printed page. Do you think that the oral tradition is a disappearing part of the American cultural experience?
