Short Works Intro


          Characterization is the way an author depicts a character, and it allows us to understand the actions of those characters. The married couple in Once Upon a Time believe that their neighborhood is dangerous and in order to ensure their safety, they isolate themselves from the outside. Nadine Gordimer portrays the married couple as alert and overprotective people who try to turn their home into a safer place. Gordimer portrays them this way to warn others against resorting to extremes because the results may be catastrophic.
