What is the point of Happy Event by Nadine Gordimer?
Though it's been some years since I read Gordimer's story, I found it a powerful one. A servant woman, working for a young white couple in South Africa is suspected of having killed her baby right after it was born, having no way to look after it (whether she actually did so or not is ambiguous, but the authorities think her guilty, and she is carried off, presumably to be punished. At the same time, the white couple, who have been looking forward to a trip to Europe for some years, discover that she is pregnant; rather than let it interfere with the trip, she has an abortion, and off they go to Rome, Paris, or wherever else their travels might take them. Gordimer handles the story with great subtlety -- so subtly that when I taught the story, I found that some students missed the abortion entirely.Gordimer passes no direct judgments in her own writing, and casts no stones. Rather she leaves it up to the reader to answer the central question: what, precisely, is the moral difference, if any, between the two women on whom the story is centered, and the ways in which they handle their unwanted (or at least inconvenient) pregnancies.
Explain the social satire in happy event by nadine gordimer?
When Thomasi is telling Ella how much he dislikes Lena (in the beginning) Ella disregards it and continues to live in her safe little bubble. When Ella finds out that Lena had a newborn baby and killed it, buried it under a tin all to keep her job, Ella is rattled how horrible someone could be without you knowing it. It reminds me of the Boy who cried wolf, only the boy is truthful from the start and the villagers who didn't listen get eaten by the wolf, it is not only a satire it is ironic....in a dark sort of way.
