The present paper tries to explore August Wilson’s play Fences in the light of Du Bios’ concept of the double consciousness. The characters in the play are clearly torn between their African and American consciousnesses. They can never find a compromise, simply speaking because each of these consciousnesses is deeply rooted, Therefore, Wilson tries to depict the characters’ struggle with their double consciousness and their endeavors to find a compromise. The characters have to surrender to the fact that they can never live with one of the consciousness on the expense of the other.
