        <description><![CDATA[The basic irony presented in "Once Upon a Time" is that the author herself does not believe in having to write a fairly tale.  Gordimer opens her story with a statement against having to write a fairly tale, yet ends up doing so.  The creates a natural irony between what Gordimer says she is going to do and what she actually does.  An event on a smaller level of irony is that she is woken up by some strange noises at night and in order to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One way that the short story is similar to a fairy tale is in its title.  "Once upon a time" is a very popular and familiar refrain in fairy tales.  Another way it is similar to the fairy tale is that it opens up with an ideal world, consisting of something similar to a king, queen, and prince (the father, the mother, and the child) who love each other very much and are concerned in the protection of their kingdom (the family and their...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Gordimer has been the victim of censorship because her subject matter demands the challenge of government and social structures.  Her writing reflects the need for artists to be social commentators and for art to transform what is into what should be.  Through her works, Gordimer challenges both social structures and governmental institutions to act in accordance to "the better angels of human nature."  Her outspoken stance on Apartheid...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The central theme brought out through this short story is the idea that human fear represents the greatest obstacle to human happiness.  The family "loves each other very much," as indicated in the opening details.  This love for one another creates a perpetual and increasing fear of the disruption in the outside world.  The family's fear of crime, urban unrest, and overall freight of "the other," compels them to increasingly insulate...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Gordimer's short story, strict chronology of events is important because it shows the levels to which the family becomes more and more obsessed with their safety and security.  Each step towards realizing this vision of ideal protection is actually a great step towards their inevitable destruction.  That is to say, as the family becomes increasingly driven to insulate themselves in their world of wealth and privilege, their imaginative...]]></description>
