Here she comes, dressed all in blue, from head to toe. She walks purposefully, her long formal robe swishing against the floor as she stalks towards me. She looks elegant and cold, but the menacing grin upon her face betrays her zeal. I catch a glimpse of the lightning in her forest green eyes as she lurches forwards. I reel backwards, terrified of her ability to skewer my whole world. My thoughts whirl around as I tumble ceaselessly. That face is unmistakable, the foul witch of Hal’edon.

Apartheid, a legislation enacted in South Africa in 1948, emboldened the affluent whites to dominate over the blacks through racial segregation and discrimination (Britannica). Before long, the blacks were further oppressed as they were required to carry legal documents to prove their racial identity. In order to end the racial injustice, Nelson Mandela fought vehemently to dismantle this flawed legislation that alienated the black population. In view of facing almost a half century of racial clashes, many South African writers like Nadine Gordiner, a political activist, have written short stories and articles to accentuate the unrest that stemmed from apartheid. In Gordimer’s, “Once upon a Time”, she recounts how a happy white family living in South Africa becomes paranoid after the husband’s mother warns that stronger fences and walls must be built to keep the family safe due to the increasing burglaries and riots. Ironically and sadly, their fear of other races and obsession with security contribute to the tragic death of their son. Through examining the irony and symbolism, Gordimer criticizes how unfound fear leads to racial segregation. Ultimately, it is evident that preoccupation with segregation results in chaos.

The Namesake was published in September 2003 by Jumpa Lahiri and the movie was released in March 9, 2007, directed by Mira Nair. The story includes the portrayal of being raised in two different cultures, search of identity, and difficulty between family.

“You can’t protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.” This quote by Jonathan Safran Foer shows us that no person can protect himself from everything bad without blocking out the good too. In “Once Upon a Time” by Nadine Gordimer, one of the main themes is that it is impossible for people to protect themselves from everything bad in life. In this short story, a wife who lives in a nice suburban neighborhood is terrified of being robbed. Her fear drives her to become extremely anxious. This anxiety makes her buy all sorts of security devices which eventually lead to the death of her son. The wife’s goal is to protect her house and family from everything bad in their neighborhood. As a consequence of this, she gets super paranoid and ends up killing her son after he gets stuck in her barbed wire fence. After her son gets stuck in the barbed wire, she realizes that there is no way that any person can protect themself from all the terrible things in life. Therefore, because the wife’s motivation to protect her family causes her to accidentally kill her own son, Gordimer shows that people cannot protect themselves from the terrible things in life.
